Orange food coloring
½ cup hot fudge sauce
10 Oreo cookies, crushed
8 Milano cookies (for gravestones)

6. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the orange whipped topping.
7. Spoon the pudding mixture on top, then sprinkle with crushed Oreo crumbs to resemble "dirt."
8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight).
