Ingredients
  

Pudding Mixture
  • 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix (3.9 ounces)
  • 2 cups cold whole milk
  • 1 container whipped topping (8 ounces), thawed
Crust and Decoration
  • 20 pieces chocolate sandwich cookies (finely crushed, such as Oreos)
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 4 to 6 drops green food coloring
  • 1 cup pastel candy-coated chocolates (such as Easter M and M’s)
  • 12 pieces mini chocolate bunnies or chicks
  • to taste gummy worms (optional)
  • 8 to 10 cups clear 9-ounce plastic cups

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened. Let it sit for 5 minutes to fully set.
  2. Gently fold in the whipped topping until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until they resemble fine crumbs.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the shredded coconut with green food coloring until evenly tinted.
Assembly
  1. Assemble the cups by adding 2 tablespoons of crushed cookies to the bottom of each cup followed by a layer of pudding mixture. Repeat the layers, finishing with cookie crumbs.
  2. Sprinkle green coconut on top, decorate with pastel chocolates and a mini chocolate bunny.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep the cups refrigerated, covered, for up to 2 days. Add the cookie crumbs just before serving for best texture. Use chilled bowls and utensils for best results.
