🥘 Ingredient Notes

All you need is 3 ingredients (large and mini marshmallows, chocolate baking crumbs, and chocolate pudding) and an edible marker to make easy Easter bunny marshmallow treats and it will take you no time at all (15 minutes)!

• Chocolate Baking Crumbs. You can use any kind of chocolate baking crumbs, including Oreo. But if you can't find them, just break up Oreo cookies or chocolate wafer cookies and use those instead. I used to use crushed-up chocolate graham crackers but they have been discontinued.
• Chocolate Pudding. I find it easiest to use prepared chocolate pudding cups, especially when you're working with kids. They are perfectly portioned and there's no messing with electric mixers. However, you can use instant chocolate pudding (or even homemade chocolate pudding) instead!

*Please see recipe card for full list of ingredients and quantities

• Pink Edible Marker. You need an edible marker to draw the marks on the marshmallow bunny paws but you'll have to buy the whole package, as pink doesn't come as a single color (only black). This is so much simpler than fussing with fondant, like so many bunny burrow recipes require. As a cake and cookie decorator, I have done a lot of decorating with edible markers over the years and these Americolor Gourmet Food Writers , (affiliate link) are by far, my favorite ones! They have a fine end that makes for precise decorating, you don't have to press hard with them, they have a nice color and they don't dry out quickly like some other brands do. There are several other brands of edible markers you can purchase at a cake decorating or craft store or online.
• 10 oz clear cups. I use disposable clear plastic cups because they are easiest and you don't have to worry about them breaking. However, you could you any clear glass or cup you prefer. If you use a smaller or larger cup, adjust ingredient portions for size.

🔪How to Make Easter Dirt Cups

MAKE THE DIRT CUP FIRST LAYER (STEP 1): Add (approximately) 99 g container (3.25 - 3.5 oz approximately) of chocolate pudding to 10 oz plastic cups * You may only be able to find 92 g containers - as long as it's approximately the same amount. If you are using a smaller cup, adjust quantities (IMAGE 1). Then add about 3-4 mini marshmallows. Feel free to add more (in both layers) if you wish! (IMAGE 2). Add a layer of chocolate baking crumbs (¼ cup) *If you are using Oreo or chocolate cookies, you can break them up in the food processor or with a rolling pin (IMAGE 3).

MAKE THE DIRT CUP SECOND LAYER (STEP 2): Then add another layer of chocolate pudding (IMAGE 4) and add a few more mini marshmallows, pushing them down into the cup so you can see them against the sides (IMAGE 5). Top with more chocolate baking crumbs (¼ cup) (IMAGE 6).

MAKE THE BUNNY BUTT (STEP 3): Take a large marshmallow and roll it between your palms to make it as round as possible *You can also heat it in the microwave for about 3 seconds to soften it (IMAGE 7). Take a mini marshmallow and cut into it from all sides, making tiny cuts, with clean/new scissors (I use a small pair of scissors I only use for food). ***SEE VIDEO IN NOTES (IMAGE 8). Place the bunny butt in the middle of the cup and stick the bunny tail onto the large marshmallow with a dab of water (IMAGE 9).

MAKE THE BUNNY PAWS (STEP 4): Flatten 2 mini marshmallows with your thumb. Trim the corners off and try to make it as round as possible, but it doesn't have to be perfect - you can cover any uneven edges with graham crumbs or 'chocolate dirt' (IMAGE 10). With your pink edible marker, draw a pink circle in the middle of the mini marshmallow, then draw 3 pink dots underneath. Repeat on the 2nd paw. (IMAGE 11). Add the paws and repeat for the remaining dirt cups (IMAGE 12).

👪 Serving size

This marshmallow bunny recipe makes 4 servings but really small kids may be able to share one because they are pretty big. However, to be honest, I've never had a kid not be able to finish one (they are chocolate, after all 🙂 ).
