Every time I see a photo of this cake it cracks me up! The idea of it is absolutely hilarious. I made this for our work Halloween Pot Luck and  everyone at my work loved it. Not only does this cake look awesome it tastes really awesome as well. It is super moist with the vanilla pudding mixed in there.

The first photo is what the actual cake looks like on the inside.

 

Kitty Litter Cake:

Ingredients:

  • 1 package of German Chocolate cake mix
  • 1 package of Vanilla cake mix
  • 2 packages (3.5 ounce)  of French Vanilla instant pudding mix
  • 1 package of Vanilla or Golden Oreo’s
  • About 5-6 drops green food colouring
  • 16-20 tootsie rolls (depending how pooping you want your littler)
  • Kitty Litter Box (Please be brand new!)
  • Kitty Litter Pooper Scooper.

 

Directions:

Bake your two cakes as directed on the back of the box. It doesn’t matter what shape or how they look. You will be crumbling the cake up once it has been baked. Also go ahead and make the vanilla pudding as directed on the box as well.

In a food processor, crumble the oreo cookies. Working in small batches seems to be the best way. Remove about 1/4 cup of the cookie crumbs and add your food colouring. Mix in well and then set aside.

Once your cakes have cooled to room temperature crumble them up into a large bowl. Then add the vanilla pudding and about 1/2 of the left over cookie crumbs and combine well. Add this to the kitty litter box. At this time  you can take a few of your tootsie rolls, melt them in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Then shape the tootsie roll however you desire and then bury it in the cake. Cover the top of the cake with the other 1/2 of the cookie crumbs followed by the crumbs with the food colouring. Then melt more tootsie rolls and place them all around the litter box and be sure to have some dripping from the sides of the litter box :)

Be sure to serve your Kitty Litter Cake with the pooper scooper for an added effect and gross factor.

Halloween Time October 4, 2010

Flipping through one of my magazines I found this tasty treat. Thought it would make a great Halloween treat to take to work one day. The original recipe calls to use white chocolate over the top, but for some reason I couldn’t get my white chocolate to melt right and ended up wasting it all so I just used the left over chocolate chips that I had. Turned out yummy, but i’m sure that white chocolate would have tasted even better!

Halloween Candy Bark:

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 3 2.1 ounce Butterfinger candy bars, cut into irregular pieces
  • 3 1.4 ounce Heath toffee candy bars, cut into irregular pieces
  • 8 0.55 ounce Reese’s Peanut Butter cups, cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup honey-roasted peanuts
  • 3 ounces high quality white chocolate
  • About 1/2 cup Reese’s Pieces

Directions:

Line a baking sheet with foil.

Stir chocolate chips in a medium saucepan over low heat until melted. Pour chocolate onto foil and spread out to about 1/4 inch thickness. Sprinkle with Butterfinger, Heath bar, Reese’s peanut butter cups and honey roasted peanuts. Make sure all the pieces are touching the melted chocolate.

Put the white chocolate in a small saucepan and melt over low heat. Dip spoon into chocolate and wave from side to side over the bark, creating zigzag lines.

Scatter Reese’s Pieces over the top.

Chill until firm. About 30-45 minutes. Peel off the foil and cut the bark into pieces.
