Kitty Litter Cake Recipe

Need gross Halloween food for a party? This kitty litter cake is just what you're looking for. It looks gross enough to delight the kids, but tastes yummy. For extra authenticity, serve this kitty litter cake in a clean kitty litter box.

Ingredients:

  • 1 German chocolate cake mix plus ingredients to make the cake
  • 1 white cake mix plus ingredients to make the cake
  • 1 large box instant vanilla pudding
  • 1 package vanilla sandwich cookies
  • green food coloring
  • 1 new kitty litter box (optional)
  • 1 new kitty litter liner (optional)
  • 1 new kitty litter scoop
  • 3 to 6 Tootsie Rolls

Preparation:

  1. Prepare each cake according to package directions. Bake in whatever pans are convenient for you.

  2. Let cakes cool. Meanwhile, prepare pudding according to package directions. Refrigerate.

  3. Place sandwich cookies in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse until crushed.

  4. Remove about 1/4 cup of the cookie crumbs. Mix with a few drops of the green food coloring. Set aside.

  5. In a large bowl, crumble the cake mixes and half of the remaining sandwich cookie crumbs. Stir in just enough vanilla pudding to moisten. You may not use all of the pudding.

  6. If using a kitty litter box (make sure it is new!), line it with the new kitty litter liner. Pour the cake mixture into the kitty litter box or another large serving pan.

  7. Sprinkle the remaining sandwich cookie crumbs evenly over the cake mixture. Sprinkle the green colored sandwich cookie crumbs over top.

  8. Place unwrapped Tootsie Rolls on a microwave-safe plate. Heat on high for 10-20 seconds, just until soft enough to bend. Unwrap, and shape Tootsie rolls so that the ends are slightly curved. Scatter on the kitty litter cake.
