Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare twelve 8-ounce cups by adding 1½ tablespoons of crushed Oreos to the bottom of each cup.
In a large bowl, combine the vanilla pudding mix with 2 cups of cold whole milk and whisk for about 2 minutes until thick.
Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until smooth and creamy.
Layer two spoonfuls of the pudding mixture into each cup, followed by 1½ tablespoons of crushed Oreos, repeating for height.
Top each cup with about 1 tablespoon of Oreo crumbs for added crunch.
Cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Before serving, decorate each cup with at least three mini chocolate eggs and a Peeps bunny.
