Notes
Here are some fun substitutions that you could also try for your Easter Dirt Cake:
Coconut Grass: Another fun idea is to mix green food coloring with 2-3 cups of shredded coconut to make “grass” for the bunnies to be in a field!
Different Toppings: You could also substitute the bunny peeps with chick peeps, or swap out the Easter M and M’s for mini marshmallows or your other favorite candies.
