Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Oreo crumbs by pulsing Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs are formed, about 30 seconds.
  2. Mix together 2 cups of cold whole milk and instant chocolate pudding mix in a large bowl for 2 minutes until thick.
  3. Gently fold in whipped topping and add ¼ cup chocolate syrup, mixing lightly, then refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Layer cups by starting with 2 tablespoons of crushed Oreo crumbs, followed by 3-4 tablespoons of pudding mixture.
  5. Create 'mud' by mixing remaining Oreo crumbs with leftover chocolate syrup until a shiny texture is achieved.
  6. Decorate with black icing on Milano cookies, place them in the pudding cups, and finish with ghost peeps and 'mud' mixture.
  7. Refrigerate decorated cups for about 30 minutes before serving or serve right away.
