A great idea for a Halloween party or some good old plain fun. Imagine taking this to a party with folks who have kitties...

I'm going to make this...M-M-M- Good...




INGREDIENTS:

1 package German chocolate cake mix
1 package white cake mix
2 packages instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (12 ounce) package vanilla sandwich cookies
3 drops green food coloring
1 (12 ounce) package tootsie rolls

DIRECTIONS:

· Crumble the white sandwich cookies in small batches in a food processor (scrape often to get every little piece) or by hand. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup.

· Measure 1/4 cup of cookie crumbs and add a few drops of green food coloring to it. Mix with a fork or shake everything in a jar.

· Crumble the room temperature cakes into a large bowl. Toss gently with half of the remaining white cookie crumbs and enough chilled pudding to moisten (not soak) the crumbs.

· Put the cake, cookie crumbs, and pudding mixture into a brand new, clean litter box.

· Heat three unwrapped Tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and until they're soft and pliable. Pinch the ends so they are no longer blunt and look convincingly like what cats put in the litter box. Repeat this process with as many Tootsie rolls as you'd like to add, microwaving them in batches of three. Reserve three for the final garnish.

· Bury the shaped Tootsie rolls in mixture and sprinkle them with the other half of the cookie crumbs.

· Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly over the top. This will mimic real litter, where many of the grains are often blue or green.

· Heat and shape the last three Tootsie rolls and scrape them on top of the cake. One can hang over the side of the litter box. Sprinkle them lightly with cookie crumbs.

ok, maybe it's just because i am still on my first cup of coffee, and haven't eaten yet....

but i just don't know if i could get past the presentation to even try it, which is saying a lot because it does contain chocolate, ya know?

Maybe if i didn't see it presented...maybe if someone brought me some in a bowl....

maybe i'm over-thinking this morning.
