You will need:

1 pkg. spice cake mix
1 pkg. white cake mix
1 pkg. white sandwich cookies
green food coloring
12 small tootsie rolls
1 pkg. vanilla pudding mix
1 new kitty litter box
1 new pooper scooper

Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions. Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble. Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in blender. They tend to stick, so scrape 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 using a fork.

When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. Gently combine. Line new, clean kitty litter box with wax paper. Put mixture into 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 and bury in 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. Serve with a new pooper scooper.

This does take a bit of time. My friend made it for an adult's Halloween party, I swear you can't tell it from the real thing if you follow the directions carefully. Try it, you'll like it. Serves 24.

Ok..all you guys that are going to make the gruesome delight pay attention now! I've found a great way to shape the Tootsie rolls. When they are soft and shapaeable you blunt the ends as per the original instructions. Then you roll slightly to make them evenly cylindrical (pencil width) then indent with your [CLEAN] fingernails to ring it like a racoon tail, stretch slightly then push gently back together. I think you guys get the idea right??? More "realistic" the better [grosser]!!!!!!!
