These Easter Dirt Cups look adorable on a brunch table but only take a few minutes to make. Add crushed chocolate cookies, sweet Peeps marshmallows, chocolate egg candies with no baking required, just the fun.

3cupsmilkI use 2%, but you can use your favorite milk.
15piecesOreo cookiescrushed into pieces
1cupsweetened shredded coconut
green food coloring
8piecesPeeps marshmallows
12piecesmini chocolate egg candies
Instructions
Add the dry instant chocolate pudding mix and milk to a large bowl, mix with a whisk until all the pudding has been dissolved, around 5 minutes. Allow the pudding to rest 5 minutes until thickened.
Sprinkle crushed Oreos over the bottom of four small cups. Fill each cup halfway full of pudding.
15 pieces Oreo cookies
Top the pudding layer with another layer of crushed Oreos. Fill each cup with pudding, leaving a small amount of space at the top of the cup for decorations. Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos over the pudding.
Pour the shredded coconut into a strong zip-top bag and add 3 to 4 drops of green food coloring. Seal the bag and squeeze and shake the bag to coat the coconut shreds evenly in food coloring. Sprinkle the green coconut over the top of each pudding cup.
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, green food coloring
Press two Peeps marshmallows into the top of each cup, then add three chocolate eggs to each pudding. Serve and enjoy!

Notes
You could also use two 3.9 ounce packages (7.8 ounces total) of instant pudding, but you will need to increase the milk to four cups total. I would suggest using slightly larger cups or making 6 total pudding cups when using the two smaller packages of pudding.I used 9 ounce clear cups for this recipe so you can see the layers.A food processor can be used to crush the chocolate cookies quickly.
