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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Spread the pudding evenly over the cookie crumb base in the pan. Refrigerate while preparing the next step.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to let the layers set. Cut into squares and serve chilled.
