Kitty Litter Cake for Halloween
This clever Halloween cake recipe frightfully resembles a well-used kitty litter box. Despite the cake's appearance, it's really delicious. For the proper presentation, use a brand new (and definitely unused) plastic cat litter box and spoon it onto plates with a new (NEVER used) pooper scooper.

Step-by-step
- Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions (any size pans).
- Prepare pudding mmix and chill until ready to assemble.
- Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in food processor, scraping often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix until completely colored.
- When cakes are cooked to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. IMPORTANT: Mix in just enough of the pudding to moisten it. You don't want it too soggy. Combine gently.
- Line a new, clean kitty litter box. Put the cake/pudding/cookie misture into the litter box.
- Put three unwrapped Tootsie Rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until soft and pliable. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat with 3 more Tootsie Rolls; bury them in the mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over the top. Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly on top of everything-- This is supposed to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter.
- Heat three Tootsie Rolls in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake; sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Spread remaining Tootsie Rolls over the top; take one and heat until pliable, hang it over the side of the kittler litter box, sprinkling it lightly with cookie crumbs. Place the box on a newspaper and sprinkle a few of the cookie crumbs around for a truly disgusting effect!
Ingredient quantities and package counts reveal nothing about the structural weight of this assembled dessert. Combining two entire baked cakes with chilled pudding creates a dense, heavily saturated crumb that requires deliberate moisture control; add the pudding incrementally until the mixture reaches a cohesive, packable consistency resembling damp earth rather than a soggy batter. Because the chocolate and vanilla cake components supply an overwhelming density of sugar exceeding ninety grams per serving, acidic beverages such as sharp lemonade or unsweetened black coffee provide necessary palate relief against the rich confection.
Melting the pliable chocolate candies requires precise microwave intervals of roughly ten to twelve seconds to achieve correct malleability without scorching the sugar solids. Softened candies shaped into textured cylinders mimic surface debris effectively when dusted with finely processed sandwich cookies. Alternatively, replacing half the chocolate components with toasted breadcrumbs introduces a coarse, gritty textural element that further enhances the visual deception.
