Ingredients

3.4 ounce box vanilla or white chocolate instant pudding mix
2 cups milk
8 ounce container frozen whipped topping thawed
15 ounce package original Oreos
mini chocolate candy eggs
green sprinkles
Easter Peeps bunnies, chicks, etc.
green food dye

Instructions

In a large bowl, add the pudding mix and 2 cups of milk. Beat with a whisk for 2-3 minutes and then let it stand for 5 minutes.
Fold in the whipped topping and slowly add the green food dye until your desired color has been achieved.
Add the Oreo cookies to a food processor or blender. Blend the cookies until they are reduced to a dirt-like consistency.
In your dessert cups, add a small layer of the Oreo cookie dirt (about 2-3 tablespoons, depending on the size of the cups). Next, add a layer of the pudding. Follow that with the Oreo cookie dirt again. Continue to layer until the cups are almost full. The last layer should be the Oreo cookie dirt.
On the top of the “dirt," add the green sprinkles, the chocolate eggs, and Peep marshmallows. Serve immediately or refrigerate until it is time to serve.

Notes

Leave a little space at the top of your Easter Dirt Cake Cups. Don't layer the ingredients all the way to the top rim of the dessert cup. When you put your chocolate eggs and peeps on the top, you’ll want to slightly press down on them to keep them standing upright. If the layers go all the way to the top and you press down, the dirt layer on top will overflow out of the cup.
Prepare up to 1 day in advance. You can make these dirt cups up to one day in advance and store in the refrigerator. I don't recommend making them any sooner than that as the Oreo layers can soften up too much and get soggy.
Storing leftovers. Any leftover pudding cups can be stored in the fridge covered with plastic wrap. As I mentioned, the Oreo layers will soften over time. You can always add a fresh layer of crushed Oreos to the top when ready to serve again, though.
