We are having our end of the school year party on Wednesday and I would like to bring something a little more orignal than brownies or cupcakes. And something my second grader could help make to share with his friends. Any one got any good ideas?

toelessp...can I get the recipe.
The cat litter cake looks great.
In Texas we have designated "party days" where we can bring treats from home.

I made a "Summer is here" cake for my sons class one time....Take a 13x9 pan and bake a cake flip i over...................dig the top out with a spoon leavin an inch border all the way around...................use the quick serve recipe on blue jello fill revine in cake with blue jello to make water. Refrigerate till firm. Ice edges and sides with blue tinted canned frosting. I then took teddy grahams.........one for each kid in the class and the teacher and piped bathing trunks on the boys and bikinis on the girls. I put some on the edge of the pool and others in the pool.......use peach rings and life savers for "floaties" and cut strips of fruit rollups for towels. It was so cute and the kids loved deciding which bear they were.

JELLO JIGGLERS

To cut Jigglers dip bottom of pan in warm water for 15 seconds to loosen gelatin. Cut shapes with cookie cutters. All the way through the gelatin. Lift from the pan with index finger or metal spatula. A tip for even easier removable, lightly coat pan with Pam cooking spray before pouring in gelatin mixture.

Rice Krispie treats are always a hit with kids, and you don't have to worry about peanut allergies, which a lot of kids have. And they can also be store bought. Chex Mix and Puppy Chow (or Muddy Buddies) is good too. But then again, Puppy Chow does have peanut butter in it.
And I guess it may vary from state to state, but in MN, you cannot bring home made treats to school. They must be store or bakery bought.

How about flapjacks topped with chocolate. Yum, and it is simple enough for a child to help you make. If you need a recipe I have a great one. Just put a note under your original message and I will type it up on here for you.

One year, my son and I made chocolate covered pretzel rods for his end of the year party and they were a big hit. Dip pretzel rods in melted chocolate then roll them into different colored candies and sprinkles. So easy and fun and he was able to say "I made these!"

You could make Chex mix, or coconut peanut butter balls. You just mix in shredded coconut, crunchy peanut butter and chocolate chips. Yummy!

Cat Litter Cake
WANT TO HAVE FUN AT A PARTY?
PREPARE THIS RECIPE! COMPLETELY EDIBLE, BUT YOUR FRIENDS MAY NOT THINK SO!
On a recent visit to our veterinarian to get shots for our cat I found this recipe on the waiting room bulletin board. After recovering from hysterical laughter, I obtained a copy from the office staff so that my wife could make it, which she refused to do. I took it to work and gave the recipe to a lady at work who loves cats. The pictures below show the results of her work, which looks like S#%* but it's actually quite tasty, so I decided to pass it along.
CAKE INGREDIENTS
1 box spice or German chocolate cake mix
1 box of white cake mix
1 package white sandwich cookies
1 large package vanilla instant pudding mix
A few drops green food coloring
12 small Tootsie Rolls or equivalent
SERVING "DISHES AND UTENSILS
1 NEW cat-litter box
1 NEW cat-litter box liner
1 NEW pooper scooper
Prepare and bake cake mixes, according to directions, in any size pan. Prepare pudding and chill. Crumble cookies in small batches in blender or food processor. Add a few drops of green food coloring to 1 cup of cookie crumbs. Mix with a fork or shake in a jar. Set aside.
When cakes are at room temperature, crumble them into a large bowl. Toss with half of the remaining cookie crumbs and enough pudding to make the mixture moist but not soggy. Place liner in litter box and pour in mixture.
Unwrap 3 Tootsie Rolls and heat in a microwave until soft and pliable. Shape the blunt ends into slightly curved points. Repeat with three more rolls. Bury the rolls decoratively in the cake mixture. Sprinkle remaining white cookie crumbs over the mixture, then scatter green crumbs lightly over top.
Heat 5 more Tootsie Rolls until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake and sprinkle with crumbs from the litter box. Heat the remaining Tootsie Roll until pliable and hang it over the edge of the box. Place box on a sheet of newspaper and serve with scooper. Enjoy!
