Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, pour 2 cups of cold whole milk and add the banana pudding mix. Whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes until thickened, then set aside for 5 minutes. Gently fold in whipped topping.
  2. Using a zip-lock bag, place vanilla wafers and crush into coarse crumbs. Reserve about 1/2 cup for later layering.
  3. Stir in a few drops of green food coloring into the crushed vanilla wafer crumbs until tinted evenly.
  4. Layer plain crushed cookies in the bottom of plastic cups, filling each about 1/4 full. Spoon approximately 1/4 cup of banana pudding mixture over this layer.
  5. Add about 3 tablespoons of plain crushed vanilla wafers on top of the banana pudding, followed by another spoonful of banana pudding mixture.
  6. Generously sprinkle the green-tinted cookie crumbs over the pudding, covering it completely.
  7. Place marshmallow chicks into the top layer and scatter chocolate eggs around them for decoration.
