Easter Bunny Dirt Cups (Printable Version)

No-bake chocolate pudding with cookie crumble and festive bunny decorations for Easter.

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Pudding Layer

01 - 2 cups cold whole milk
02 - 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix

→ Cookie Crumble

03 - 16 chocolate sandwich cookies

→ Cream Layer

04 - 1 cup whipped topping, thawed

→ Decorations

05 - 6 marshmallow bunny candies
06 - 1/4 cup candy-coated chocolate eggs
07 - 2 tablespoons green-tinted shredded coconut

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together cold milk and instant chocolate pudding mix for 2 minutes until thickened. Set aside to further thicken for 5 minutes.
02 - Place chocolate sandwich cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin.
03 - Set out 6 clear cups. Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of chocolate pudding into the bottom of each cup.
04 - Add a heaping tablespoon of whipped topping over the pudding in each cup and smooth lightly.
05 - Sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoons of crushed cookie crumbs over the whipped topping in each cup.
06 - Gently press a marshmallow bunny candy into each cup so it stands upright in the dirt layer.
07 - Decorate each cup with candy-coated chocolate eggs and sprinkle green-tinted shredded coconut around the bunny to resemble grass.
08 - Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Kids can actually help make these without needing a stove or sharp knives, which means less stress and more genuine kitchen fun.
  • The moment children see that bunny pop up from the dirt is pure magic every single time, no matter how old they get.
  • It's genuinely delicious—creamy chocolate, crunchy cookie soil, and marshmallow sweetness layered together like edible architecture.
02 -
  • Don't skip the five-minute thickening time for the pudding or it'll be too runny and your layers will blur together into brown mush instead of staying distinct and beautiful.
  • Crush those cookies finely into actual crumbs rather than chunks—chunky dirt looks less convincing and doesn't coat the whipped topping the same way.
03 -
  • If a bunny Peep won't stand upright, press it slightly deeper into the cookie layer where it'll anchor better and look even more like it's actually burrowed in.
  • Substitute gummy worms for candy eggs, or even add both—there's no such thing as too much personality in a dirt cup, and kids will love the variety.
