Kitty Litter Cake

Are you in need of a tasty yet "festive" dessert for Halloween?  Do you think cat litter boxes are gross?  Well, look no further.  We have just what you need right here.  Essentially a "mud cake" but with different flavors, it's not an original recipe, nor one that I invented (you can find it all over Google)....but it's fun and easy.

You will need:

• A box of white cake mix, baked according to the package directions;
• A box of spice cake mix, baked according to the package directions;
• 2  packages of instant vanilla pudding, prepared according to package directions;
• One package of Vienna finger sandwich cookies, crushed until they look like sand (food processor or blender - working in batches - works well for this);
• Green food coloring;
• Tootsie Rolls;
• A small, brand new, never used, kitty litter box (washed several times, too); and
• A small, brand new, never used litter box pooper scooper (also washed several times).

Once the cakes are cooled and the pudding is set, all you need to do is mix them together (you may want to chop the cakes into chunks first) with about half of the crushed cookies, then spread it all out evenly into the litter pan*.  Next, pop a few tootsie rolls into the microwave (unwrapped and on a plate) for just a few seconds until they are soft enough to shape into something your cat might deposit - lol.  Bury them throughout the cake wherever you wish.

All you should have left for ingredients at this point is half the cookie crumbs, green food coloring, and the rest of your Tootsie Rolls.  Using the food coloring, turn a bit of the remaining cookie crumbs green.  Spread the non-green crumbs over the top of the cake, and then sprinkle the green crumbs over that.  Make a few more Tootsie Roll poops and put them on top, too.

Serve it up with the pooper scooper.*  It's delicious, I promise!!!

* I think it goes without saying that these items should be brand new and super duper deep cleaned before using.
