Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 package Instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 cup Whipped topping
- 5 drops Green food coloring
- 1 cup Shredded coconut
- 10 pieces Candy carrots or orange and green starburst candies (for molding carrots)
- 1 cup Mini chocolate eggs or jelly beans
- 6 pieces Bunny-shaped marshmallows or candies
Instructions
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, place in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop and mix it into the cookie crumbs until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan to form the base layer.
In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate pudding mix with milk according to the package instructions. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken.
Spread the pudding evenly over the cookie crumb base in the pan. Refrigerate while preparing the next step.
In a small bowl, mix the shredded coconut with green food coloring. Add the drops of food coloring one at a time and toss with a fork until the coconut resembles grass.
Remove the pan from the refrigerator and spread the whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer. Sprinkle the green-tinted coconut on top to create the ‘grass’ layer.
Decorate the dessert to resemble a bunny patch: arrange candy carrots in the coconut grass, scatter mini chocolate eggs or jelly beans, and add bunny-shaped marshmallows or candies for a whimsical touch.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let the layers set. Cut into squares and serve chilled.
