Mini Easter Peep Dirt Pies

Monday, March 16, 2015 16:46

Have you ever had dirt cups? I’m sure you have because they’ve been around ever since I was a kid and that’s a long time! My kids love the traditional dirt cups with the gummy worms, so I decided to change things up a bit and make a fun Easter version.

You’re kids will love these cute little Easter Peep Dirt Pies. Each peep pie consists of a mini graham cracker crust, chocolate pudding, crushed Oreo cookies, a bunny peep, and a variety of Easter candies and sprinkles. The best part is since this recipe doesn’t require an oven your kiddos can make these all by themselves.

Instead of using regular cups I thought it would be neat to use these cute little graham cracker crusts and make mini dirt pies instead. This idea came to me while I was shopping at Walmart and looking for clear plastic cups. I couldn’t find the appropriate size, so I went with a whole different idea.

While in the baking isle picking up the pudding I came across these mini graham cracker crusts and my whole plan went in a different directions. I think these little pies turned out so cute and they’re the perfect size for kids. I purchased 6 mini crusts for $1.68, so they’re really reasonably priced.

Every Easter our family has a big get together with food, family, friends, and a big egg hunt to end the day. I try to keep things as easy and affordable as possible and Walmart helps keep my pocketbook in check. I love that I can get everything I need in one convenient place.

Let’s get started on how to make this easy recipe. You will need the following ingredients and supplies:

Mini Keebler Graham Cracker Crusts
instant chocolate or cookies ‘n cram pudding
package Oreo Cookies , crushed
marshmallow Easter bunny peeps
Jelly beans, chocolate eggs, M&M’s or other Easter Candies
Easter or spring themed sprinkles

Once you get all your ingredients together the kids can pretty much take this recipe on all by themselves. As you can see Carson helped me out and made a few on his own.

Just a thought, but this would make the perfect activity for the kids to do while the adults are hiding the eggs for the egg hunt.

Mini Easter Peep Dirt Pies

{mommyskitchen.net}

1 – package (6) Keebler Graham Cracker Mini Crusts

1 – 4.2 oz package instant chocolate or cookies & cream pudding (can also use vanilla)

2 1/2 – milk

1 – 14 oz package regular Oreo cookies (can also use golden Oreo’s)

1 – package Easter peeps

Jelly beans, chocolate eggs, M&M’s or other Easter Candies

Easter sprinkles of your choosing

Holiday plates and napkins

Prepare the pudding mix according to package directions for pie. Add (2 1/2 cups milk) to a large bowl; add the pudding mix and whisk until smooth and thick.

Divide the prepared pudding (about 2-3 tablespoons) among 6 of the graham cracker crusts. Top each pie with one marshmallow peep in each mini crust.

Sprinkle about a tablespoon of crushed Oreo cookies over each pie. Decorate with Easter candy and sprinkles of your choosing and enjoy.

Servings: 6

Cooks Notes: You can also substitute instant vanilla pudding and golden Oreo’s in place of chocolate pudding and regular Oreo cookies. I was going to use a few of the chocolate marshmallow bunnies, but they didn’t have faces on them, so that’s why they’re pictured with the ingredients.
