Preheat the oven and prepare the chocolate cake as directed on the box. Bake in a 9×13 baking pan.
Once done, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
Using the back of a spoon, poke holes evenly into the cake.
Warm up the hot fudge in the microwave until it is thin enough to pour.
Evenly pour the hot fudge over the cake, allowing it to seep into the poked holes.
Allow the cake to fully cool.
Prepare the Pudding Layer:
In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix with the milk.
Before the pudding sets fully, pour it on top of the cooled cake.
Place the cake into the refrigerator to chill for about 20 minutes.

Mix in about 3/4 of the crushed Oreos and spread the pudding mixture evenly on top of the cake.
Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos on top for garnish.
