Ingredients for Peeps Dirt Cake
- Instant chocolate pudding mix – if you don’t have instant pudding, just make sure that you give it plenty of time to set. You want it to be pudding consistency by the time you assemble the cups.
- Milk
- Oreo cookies – you’re only going to be using the cookie part so feel free to enjoy the cream!
- Edible grass – you can find this in the seasonal section of pretty much any store these days. Or you can order it online.
- Bunny Peeps – use any flavor that you want. You can even use the chick Peeps if you want because chickens love dirt too!
- Whoppers Mini Robin Eggs – you can use any candy eggs that you want but I think chocolate eggs work best here since you’re using chocolate pudding and chocolate cookies.
How To Make Peeps Dirt Cups
- Make pudding. Whisk instant chocolate pudding mix and milk together for 2 minutes. Place in the fridge and let it chill for at least 5 minutes.
- Crush cookies. Remove cream filling from each Oreo cookie. Place the cookies into a large plastic bag and crush until tit resembles dirt.
- Prepare grass. Cut the edible grass into ½-inch to 1-inch segments.
- Assemble cups. Scoop ⅓ cup of chocolate pudding into a short clear plastic cup. Smooth the layer down. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of Oreo crumbs over the pudding. Follow with another ¼ cup of pudding and then another Oreo layer.
- Add toppings. Top the dirt cup with 1 Peep marshmallow, 3 Whopper mini eggs, and 12-15 cut pieces of edible grass.
- Chill and serve. Allow the dirt cups to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Serve cold and enjoy!
How Long Are They Good For?
Peeps Dirt Cups are best the day they are made when the cookie crumbs still have a bit of texture. However, these pudding cups will stay good for several days, they just might be not have any crunch.
Make sure to cover them with foil and refrigerate until you are ready to enjoy them.
