This fun recipe for a Kitty Litter Box is great for Halloween parties, and will have everyone talking and tasting for sure, including the kids! Tastes GREAT and is sure to be a crowd pleaser at your next Spooky Party! Cooking time does not include time baking cakes. Cook cake according to pkg. directions on box.

SERVES 24 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 2 (18 ounce)  caramel flavored cake mix (Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe)

  • 1 (16 ounce) package vanilla cream-filled sandwich style cookies

  • 1 (6 ounce) box chocolate pudding mix
  • 12-16 small Tootsie Rolls
  • 1 new kitty litter box
  • 1 plastic Pooper Scooper
  • green food coloring

Directions

  1. 1
    Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions on box, using 2 9x13" pans. Let cool completely.
  2. 2
    Prepare pudding mix according to package directions. Once cooked, cover bowl with saran wrap, and chill in refrigerator, until ready to assemble cake.
  3. 3
    Place Vanilla sandwich cookies in a heavy duty Zip-lock plastic bag, and roll with a rolling pin until cookies are crumbled.
  4. 4
    Set aside 1/4 cup of the cookie crumbs. Add a few drops green food coloring to the 1/4 cup crumbs, and mix with a fork.
  5. 5
    Remove the cakes from their pans, and crumble into a lg. bowl.
  6. 6
    Toss cake with 1/2 the remaining vanilla cookie crumbs, and the chilled pudding. You probably won't need all of the pudding.
  7. 7
    Mix gently with the cake crumbs until evenly moist.
  8. 8
    Put mixture into a NEW litter box that has been lined with plastic wrap.
  9. 9
    Unwrap the tootsie rolls. Place 3 of them in a microwavable dish, and heat on LOW until soft and pliable, checking every 30 secs. Taper the ends of the tootsie rolls, rolling them between your palms and curving slightly, to make them look like pieces of poop.
  10. 10
    Repeat with remaining tootsie rolls, heating them 3 at a time. Bury some of them and you can place a few on top too. Sprinkle some of the ones on top with cookie crumbs.
  11. 11
    Sprinkle the other 1/2 of cookie crumbs over top of the cake.
  12. 12
    Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly over the top (this resembles the colored granules in some brands of kitty litter).
  13. 13
    Dip the scoop in the box, and your ready to scoop and eat!

I made this cake for my family as a joke to see their reaction to dessert after dinner on Halloween. My DS and DD and their spouses thought it was wild and couldn't wait to try some of the poop It was a big success here! Thanks for sharing!

    Everyone here went bonkers for this cake at my annual Halloween party. They thought it was pretty gross to look at, but since they liked gummy everything and tootsie rolls, they ate it with glee! Thanks for sharing!

    I made this for a teenage Halloween party this weekend. It was a hit! Some of the kids refused to even look at it because it was so disgusting looking and others couldn't wait to dig in and look cool eating cat poop and litter. I used the larger then bite sized tootsie rolls so that I could roll them and twist them into little piles of poo. I took the extra chocolate pudding and left little puddles here and there and dribbled some of it down the inside of the litter pan in a few places to resemble the results of a cat with digestive issues using the pan. It was completely disgusting looking and perfect for Halloween. I swear that it looked just like a used, needing to be cleaned, litter box. It was so real and disgusting looking, you would swear that you could smell the real thing just from the visual. The taste was sweet and delicious, but the visual made the cake perfect for the party. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

    This turned out so fun. We used Tootsie Rolls, soft toffee rolls in lighter brown colors, Mary Jane and Bit-O-Honey candies for a variety of nice poop. All of my candies were fresh enough to mold by hand and not use the microwave. We had this for a small Family Party and did not finish it all. So I put the rest in the fridge. When your cake is cold- Watch out for the really cold hard poop! I did not think of them hardening up when cold, but the warmth of your mouth will soften them up in no time. I was unable to find a Carmel flavored Cake Mix, so I just mixed in some Carmel Ice Cream Topping into the Butter Flavor cake mix we used before baking and it turned out very tasty. I used the whole box of pudding and after sitting in the fridge, I would have liked a bit more pudding as it was very much absorbed into the cake. It is delicious, easy to make and so fun to introduce to the table. Such an unexpected cake. The only thing I would change in the future is to add a bit of color like JuJuBeJen did. Thanks for this version, we like the chocolate and carmel flavors.
