How To Make Easter Bunny Pudding Dirt Cake

1. Spread half of the crushed Oreos in the bottom of a 9×13″ pan.

8. Before serving, remove cake from fridge.
9. In a gallon-sized Ziploc bag, add coconut and a few drops of green food coloring. Mix together until all the coconut is tinted lightly green. Add more food coloring to get the shade of green you want to make a coconut grass for the top of the cake.
10. Arrange the coconut grass, Peeps, and candy eggs on the top of the cake.

Tips and Tricks

To crush the Oreos either place them in a food processor or blender and chop them up. Or but them in a large zip lock bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. 

If you are having a hard time keeping your Peeps in place, place a toothpick in the bottom half the way and stick it in the cake to stablize it a little more.

Notes

To crush the Oreo cookies, you could pulse it in a blender, pulse it in a food processor, or place the cookies in a Ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin.

If you are struggling to get the Peeps to stand up straight, use a toothpick stuck into the cake to prop them up.
