Preparation

Step 1

Using an electric mixer, whisk the pudding mix and milk for 5 minutes, until thick and smooth.

Put all of the pudding in an even layer in a deep, glass serving dish.

Use a food processor to blend the Oreos into chunky crumbles and spread those over the pudding.

In a large disposable bag, mix coconut and a little green food coloring. Shake the bag well until the food coloring is evenly distributed and the coconut turns spring green or a light grassy color.

Spread the coconut over the Oreo dirt layer.

Decorate with Peeps bunnies and candy eggs.

TIP: Use toothpicks to get the bunnies to stand up straight in the pudding.
