# Ingredients:

03 - 18 Oreo cookies, finely crushed

# Instructions:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together instant pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Let sit for 5 minutes to fully set.

04 - Divide the chocolate pudding evenly among the cups, layering on top of the crushed Oreos.
05 - Top each pudding layer with another 2 tablespoons of crushed Oreos to resemble dirt.

07 - Decorate each cup with bunny candies, sprinkles, mini eggs, and mint sprigs to create a festive Easter garden scene.
08 - Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

# Pro Tips:

01 -
  • Zero baking required, which means you can throw this together while the kids are still awake and actually help.
  • The surprise of that crushed cookie layer hitting your spoon makes every bite feel special, not just like regular pudding.
  • It's genuinely beautiful in a clear cup, so you skip the plating stress and just let the layers do the talking.
02 -
  • Don't skip the five-minute rest time for the pudding—I learned this by serving soupy cups to disappointed faces, and now I set a timer and actually wait.
  • Use a clear cup, not an opaque bowl, because half the charm is seeing those beautiful layers; it's what transforms pudding into an experience.
03 -
  • Chill your serving cups in the freezer for ten minutes before assembly—the pudding sets faster and everything stays more structured.
  • Buy your candy decorations a few days early so you're not hunting for bunny-shaped anything the morning of your event.
