A festive no-bake dessert with chocolate, cookie layers, and marshmallow bunny toppers for joyful occasions.

# What you need:

→ Pudding Layer

01 - 2 cups cold whole milk

# Directions:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together cold milk and instant chocolate pudding mix for 2 minutes until thickened. Set aside for 5 minutes to further set.
02 - Place chocolate sandwich cookies in a zip-top bag and crush into fine crumbs using a rolling pin.
03 - Spoon approximately 1/4 cup chocolate pudding into the bottom of each of 6 clear serving cups.
04 - Top pudding layer with 1 heaping tablespoon whipped topping per cup, smoothing lightly.
05 - Sprinkle 2 to 3 tablespoons crushed cookie crumbs over whipped topping in each cup.
06 - Gently press one marshmallow bunny candy into each cup so it stands upright in the dirt layer.
07 - Decorate with candy-coated chocolate eggs and sprinkle green-tinted coconut around bunny to resemble grass if desired.
08 - Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

# Expert tips:

01 -
  • Kids can help with every single step, from crushing cookies to arranging the decorations without fear of hot surfaces or raw eggs.
  • It actually tastes amazing—rich chocolate pudding meets the satisfying crunch of cookie crumbs, nothing feels like a compromise.
  • Assembly happens in minutes, meaning you can make these the morning of your celebration instead of stressing the day before.
02 -
  • Don't crush the cookies too far ahead—they'll absorb moisture from the whipped topping and turn to mush instead of staying crumbly, so do this step right before assembly.
  • Make sure your milk is actually cold before mixing the pudding, because room-temperature milk will give you pudding that's too thin and disappoints everyone.
03 -
  • Prep all your ingredients before you start assembling—once you begin layering, momentum matters and having everything ready means you finish faster and the pudding doesn't start separating.
  • If you're making these ahead, skip the bunny decoration until right before serving so it stays fresh and doesn't get soggy from sitting in the moisture.
