Ingredients: 

1 (3.4-ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix

1 1/2 cup milk

15 regular Oreos

1 (8-ounce) tub whipped topping

3 tablespoons instant chocolate pudding mix

edible pearl sprinkles, for garnish

Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, mix the vanilla pudding mix and the milk with a whisk. Set in the fridge to chill for 5-10 minutes. 

Place the Oreos in a food processor and blend until they are fine crumbs with no chunks. 

Take the pudding from the fridge and mix in the Oreo crumbs. The mixture should be a dark gray/black color. Then, fold in the container of whipped topping. The color will be lighter. Next, mix in the chocolate pudding mix and stir until completely combined! 

To serve: using a cake decorating bag and a Wilton 1M Star Tip. Swirl a small amount onto a dish and  top with a few of the pearl sprinkles. An alternate serving style is to swirl a small amount on top of a graham cracker to make it look more like it does in the movie!
