Ingredients
- 8 3.25 oz chocolate pudding snacks (99 g) or substitute 2 pkgs of chocolate instant pudding
- 2 cups chocolate baking crumbs or Oreo cookie crumbs or crushed Oreo cookies
- 4 large marshmallows
- 32 mini marshmallows approximately
Instructions
Make the Dirt Cups:
- Add (approximately) a 99 g container (3.25-3.5 ounces) 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.
- Then add about 3-4 mini marshmallows (or add more if you wish).
- Add a layer of chocolate baking crumbs (¼ cup).
- Then add another container of pudding.
- Add a few more mini marshmallows, pushing them down into the cup so you can see them against the sides.
- Top with more crushed chocolate baking crumbs.
Assemble bunny butt:
- 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.
- 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
- Stick the bunny tail onto the large marshmallow with a dab of water, as shown.
Make the paws:
- 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 crumb or oreo'dirt'.Â
- With your pink edible marker, draw a pink circle in the middle of the mini marshmallow, then draw 3 pink dots underneath, as shown.
- Repeat on the 2nd paw.
- Place the bunny butt in the middle of the cup and add the paws as shown in the photo. Repeat for remaining bunny dirt cups
- Serve warm or cold.
Notes
 Expert Tips:
- Use Pre-Made Pudding for Convenience. Store-bought snack pack chocolate pudding is the easiest option, especially when making these with kids. No need to mix or measure—just open and pour! If using instant pudding, make sure to let it set fully before assembling the cups.
- Perfecting the Bunny Paws & Tail. To get even, rounded bunny paws, gently flatten mini marshmallows with your thumb before trimming them. Use an edible marker for easy decorating—no need to fuss with fondant or icing! To make a fluffy bunny tail, make tiny snips in a mini marshmallow using small, clean scissors.
- Make Ahead for Parties. These dirt cups can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Store them covered in the refrigerator and add the bunny decorations right before serving. If storing longer, separate the layers (pudding, crumbs, and decorations) and assemble just before serving to keep the texture fresh.
- Kid-Friendly AssemblyTips. If making with kids, prep the marshmallows and decorations ahead of time to keep things simple. Use small disposable cups to make mini versions for younger children.
- Use Clear Cups for Best Presentation. Transparent cups make the layered look stand out, so you can see the pudding, crumbs, and marshmallow details.
