Tips & Notes

  • High Altitude (3500-6500 ft)

    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.

  • Variation

    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.

  • How-To

    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.

  • Substitution

    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.

  • Variation

    Don’t be afraid. It’s easy to turn this kitty cat into the scariest Halloween cat on the block!
