Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Pudding

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk.
  2. Allow the pudding to set for about 5 minutes until thickened.

Step 2: Crush the Cookies

  2. Set aside a portion of the crumbs for the topping.

Step 3: Make the Edible Grass

  1. In a small bowl, mix the shredded coconut with a few drops of green food coloring.
  2. Stir until the coconut turns bright green, creating the look of Easter grass.

Step 4: Assemble the Dirt Cups

  1. Spoon a layer of crushed cookies into the bottom of each cup.
  2. Add a layer of chocolate pudding, filling the cup about halfway.
  3. Top with more crushed cookies to create a “dirt” effect.

Step 5: Decorate for Easter

  1. Sprinkle the green coconut grass on top.
  2. Place 2 mini chocolate eggs on each cup.
  3. Add a marshmallow bunny in the center for a fun Easter touch.

Step 6: Chill & Serve
