Equipment
- toothpicks
- Large wire whisk
Ingredients
- 5.9 ounce Instant chocolate pudding
- 2½ cups milk
- 15 each Oreo cookies
- 4 each Peeps Marsharmallow Bunnies
- Cadbury Chocolate Eggs
- Green sparkling sugar
Instructions
Make the dirt cups
- Measure the milk into a medium sized bowl.
- Add the chocolate pudding mix and mix or whisk with the milk until you get a smooth and creamy pudding.
- Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Use a food processor or place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin. You want small crumbs, not big chunks, so they look like dirt.
- Divide the pudding evenly between 4 cups, layering as you go: start with pudding, add Oreo crumbs, then repeat with pudding, Oreo crumbs, and finish with a final layer of pudding on top.
Decorate the dirt cups
- Decorate each cup with a light layer of Oreo crumbs, then green sprinkles, Cadbury Mini Eggs, and a Peeps marshmallow bunny. If needed, insert a toothpick into the bottom of the bunny to help it stand upright.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at leaat 10 minutes before serving.
Storage
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The Oreos will soften over time, which some people love and some don't. If you want a crunch, eat them within the first day.
Notes
Notes:
Bunny Burrow Cups – Add a small chocolate bunny peeking out of the "dirt."
Extra Chocolatey – Mix mini chocolate chips into the pudding layer.
Realistic Grass Look – Use dyed shredded coconut instead of sprinkles.
- You can stretch this to 6 smaller cups if you're serving a crowd or making kid-size portions.
- If you have leftover Cadbury Mini Eggs or Peeps after making these, they keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for snacking.
