INGREDIENTS:

• 1 Spice or German Chocolate Cake Mix
• 1 White Cake Mix
• 1 Package of White Sandwich Cookies
• 1 large package Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix
• Green food coloring
• 12 small Tootsie Rolls
• 1 *new* kitty litter box
• 1 *new* kitty litter box plastic liner
• 1 *new* pooper scooper

DIRECTIONS:

1. Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions (any size pans).
2. Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble cake. Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in blender, (they tend to stick, so scrape often.) Set aside all but about 1/4 cup.
3. To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix using a fork or shake in a jar.
4. 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.
5. Line a *new* clean litter box. Put mixture into lined litter box. (I usually just use an aluminum baking pan of the same dimensions.)
6. Place 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.
7. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top. Scatter the green cookies crumbs lightly over the top. This is supposed to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter.
8. Heat remaining Tootsie Rolls, 3 at a time in the microwave until pliable, and leave uncovered on top of cake, sprinkled with crumbs. Take one and heat until pliable, hang it over the side of the kitty litter box; sprinkle with cookie crumbs.
9. Serve with a *new* pooper scooper.
