| 4. | Lift out foil and uncut brownies. Carefully remove foil. Cut 1 round as shown in diagram. Arrange uncut round and the pieces, top sides down, on large tray or aluminum foil-covered cardboard, 18x12 inches, to form cat. Frost cat, attaching pieces with small amount of frosting. |
| 5. | Cut thin slice from bottom of each yellow gumdrop; use slices for eyes. Cut thin slice from green gumdrop; use to make pupils. Use black gumdrop for nose and shoestring licorice for whiskers, mouth and from paws. Attach 3 candy corn on each paw for claws. Store loosely covered. |
| For brownies, follow High Altitude directions on package. For cookie bars, use 9-inch round pan; prepare as directed in High Altitude directions on package--except use 1/4 cup margarine and 1 egg, and bake 24 to 26 minutes. |

| Make them Kitty Cat Cookie Bars. Make as directed except use 2 packages Betty Crocker Supreme cookie bar mix, prepared as directed on package, instead of the brownie mix. Bake 9-inch pan 22 to 28 minutes or until golden brown; bake 8-inch pan 30 to 35 minutes or until deep golden brown. |

| A parent or older sibling may have to cut the pieces, but even the youngest family member can help add the whiskers and the candy-corn feet. |
|
| Can’t find black shoestring licorice or candy corn? Use Betty Crocker black decorating gel for the licorice; look for it near the cake and frosting items in your grocery store. For the claws, cut strips of Fruit Roll-Ups® chewy fruit snack rolls.
