For the pudding layers

Preparation
  1. Mix the chocolate pudding mix with cold milk in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer until silky smooth.

Layering
  1. Grab your serving cups and layer a generous dollop of chocolate pudding at the bottom of each cup.
  2. Sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies over the pudding for added texture.
  3. Add another layer of pudding followed by more Oreo crumbles.
  4. Top with whipped topping resembling grave mounds and sprinkle with black food coloring.

Notes

Chill your serving cups before use for an extra refreshing experience. Use a piping bag for layering whipped topping for a neat look.
