Mmmmm…….doesn’t this look tasty???

It’s a Litter Box Cake!

Here is the recipe [From Dolittler: How to Make a Litterbox Cake]:

Ingredients

• 2 recipes of brownies
• 1 recipe chocolate frosting (not canned)
• 2 recipes of angel food or white cake
• 1 large box of Nerds…pick out the blue and green ones
• 1 bag Tootsie Rolls
• 1 brand-new litter box (hand-washed)
• 1 brand-new litter scooper (hand-washed)
• 1/4 cup dark honey

Assembly

1. Line the bottom of the litter box with brownie squares
2. Soften the frosting in the microwave to achieve a pour-able consistency
3. Pour frosting over the brownies in an even layer and smooth out into the corners
4. In a large bowl, crumble the cake into fine, litter-like crumbs and sprinkle to cover the brownie/frosting layer
5. Sprinkle blue and green Nerds evenly over the top (to resemble air freshening crystals)
6. Sculpt Tootsie rolls into realistic kitty turds
7. Randomly insert litter scooper
8. Scatter and embed Tootsie roll sculptures into cakey litter
9. Pour honey in one spot on the cakey litter to simulate a pool of urine
10. Apply litter box splashguard for complete effect!
11. Dig in!
