Source: I hate to admit it, but I forget where I got this recipe. I think I got it from Disney's Family Fun magazine, but I'm not sure. Anyway, this dessert is another big hit for a kids party. This is a cake which looks like a used kitty litter box. Ingredients:
1 White Cake Mix 1 pkg white sandwich cookies 1 lrg pkg vanilla instant pudding mix green food colouring 12 small tootsie rolls 1 new kitty litter box 1 new kitty litter plastic liner 1 new pooper scooper Instructions: Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions (any size pans). Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble. Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in blender. They tend to stick, so scrape them often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food colouring and mix using a fork or shake in a jar. When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. You probably won't need all of the pudding. Mix with the cake and "feel" it, you don't want it soggy, just moist; gently combine. Line new, clean kitty litter box. Put mixture into litter box. Put three unwrapped tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish, and heat until soft and pilable. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat with 3 more Tootsie Rolls and bury the mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top. Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly over the top, this is supposed to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter. Heat remaining tootsie rolls, 3 at a time in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake and sprinkle with cookie crumbs. This is my addition - only: spread 5 of the remaining Tootsie Rolls over the top; take one and heat until pilable, hang it over the side of the kitty litter box; sprinkling it lightly with cookie crumbs. Place the box on a newspaper and sprinkle a few of the cookie crumbs around. Serve with a new pooper scooper. |
