Cat Poop Cookies 

Chocolate ingredients: 
1/2 cup honey 
2/3 cup (1 and 1/3 stick) butter, margarine, or lard 
1 egg 
1 tsp vanilla or peppermint extract 
2 cups whole wheat flour 
1/3 cup cocoa powder 
grape-nuts(tm) cereal 

Gingerbread ingredients: 
1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup molasses 2/3 cup (1 and 1/3 stick) butter or margarine, or lard 
1 egg 
2 and 1/3 cups whole wheat flour 
spices-ginger, cinnamon, cloves to taste (maybe 1/2 tsp each) 
Grape-Nuts (tm) cereal 

Mix-ins: 
coconut (tapeworms), chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, 
peanut butter chips, cooked spaghetti or ramen noodles (roundworms), 
corn, peanuts, M&Ms [tm], "Those puffy pastel things you find at chinese restaurants" 
(shrimp chips - to look like the cat ate styrofoam packing pellets - I haven't tried this) 

To make: 

Microwave the honey till it bubbles (about 1 minute). 
Add the butter, (I've been told using lard makes for a more realistic 
texture and softer cookie) and the molasses, if any. 
Add the egg, 
Mix well, then mix in all the other stuff. 

Add mix-ins of your choice to some or all of the batter. 
Chill 1 hour in the freezer or several hours in the fridge. 

Roll dough logs of random length and the diameter of cat poops. 
Roll logs in grape-nuts and bake at 350 degrees till done 
(maybe 10 to 15 minutes but with my flaky oven you never know). 
Note: someone with a reliable oven says it's closer to 20 minutes for him. (thanks Paul!) 

Serve in a disposable cat litter box on a bed of Grapenuts cereal, with a cat litter scoop. 
I hear you get lovely effects by decorating the box and scoop with melted chocolate or pudding. 
I imagine brown sugar might work as a substitute for the new clumping litters, but I haven't 
tried it. I've been told that mixing brown sugar with the Grapenuts "sweetens up the cookie a 
bit while still looking truly hideous." 

This recipe worked especially well at the halloween party where the 
table was already decorated with plastic flies.
