3. Add the vanilla custard cookies to the second bowl and crush them. Fill the rest of the jar with the crushed vanilla cookies. Sprinkle the grated chocolate on top before tightly screwing on the jar's lid.

 
4. Use the plastic lid to trace a circle onto the white cardstock. Cut out the circle and glue it to the top of the jar's lid.
5. Use the cookie cutter to trace a heart onto the red felt and cut it out. Glue it onto the jar's lid.

Hi Lifekinds!
I wouldn't worry about what kind of cookies they are; they're probably similar to vanilla wafers (like 'Nilla wafers - not the kind of wafer cookies with the cream filling). I was thinking of using shortbread cookies, myself. You can change this idea up and use different combinations of cookies and puddings.

You could use the same bowl for crushing both types of cookies; just wipe out any crumbs or residue from the first batch with a paper towel.

As for the grated chocolate, one usually uses dark chocolate, like semi-sweet chocolate that comes in bars for cooking (found in the baking aisle at the supermarket). You could also use a Hershey's Special Dark bar, or really any chocolate bar that you like. A recipe like this can be used as a jumping off point for endless variations. Don't be afraid to experiment! Have fun!
