Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the chilled milk and vanilla instant pudding mix for 2 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
2
Divide the pudding evenly into four small dessert cups or bowls and place them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.
3
While the pudding sets, take the licorice stick and cut it into 12 small pieces: each piece should be about one inch long. Set aside for later use.
4
In a small bowl, combine the vanilla frosting with red food coloring and mix until you achieve a soft pink shade. Use about 1-2 drops of food coloring for best results.
5
Remove the chilled pudding cups from the refrigerator. Take two cream-filled sandwich cookies and gently press them into the pudding on each cup's side to mimic bunny ears.
6
Using the pink frosting, generously spread it on the tops of the sandwich cookies, avoiding the edge to help retain the bunny shape.
7
For the eyes, place two jelly beans of your choice on each pudding cup, positioning them above the cookie ears.
8
For the nose, place one pink or red jelly bean in the center below the eyes.
9
Finally, use three pieces of licorice on each side of the jelly bean nose to create whiskers, completing your adorable bunny face!
