Preparing palatable treats for owls requires attentiveness to their dietary requirements, which typically consist of meat, small rodents and insects. Despite the captivating charm of owls, it's crucial to understand that they are wild animals and their consumption of human snacks can pose potential health risks. Therefore, it's essential to refrain from offering them any foodstuff intended for human consumption. Instead, focus on providing them with a balanced diet comprising natural prey.

Categories     dessert

Time 20m

Yield 6 owl cakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 banana-flavored, marshmallow-filled snack cakes
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
12 standard cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies (not double-stuffed), separated (plain-chocolate sides reserved for another use)
1/4 cup purchased caramel sauce or corn syrup
12 semisweet chocolate chips
6 whole almonds
36 orange candy-coated sunflower seeds (about 3 tablespoons)

Steps:

  • Place the snack cakes on a parchment-lined work surface. Using the cookie cutter, gently score half circles onto each side of the cake to denote the owl's wings (don't cut through, just make a line with the cutter). Use a dry art brush loaded with cocoa powder to color the half circle marks to denote the owl's wings.
  • Place a chocolate chip onto the cream covered cookie halves to create pupils. Using a separate kitchen-dedicated art brush, brush a dime-sized portion of the caramel or corn syrup onto the back of each cookie to act as "glue." Place two cookies side-by-side onto the upper-third portion of the snack cake, creating eyes. Brush a small amount of caramel onto one side of a whole almond and place it just below each pair of owl eyes to create a beak.
  • Brush a small amount of caramel, approximately 1/2-inch long, onto the left and right bottom edge of the snack cake. Place three sunflower seeds, pointed-ends down, on each of the caramel brushstrokes to create talons. Repeat with the remaining snack cakes and ingredients.

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 ΒΌ cups candy-coated milk chocolate pieces
2 tablespoons milk
24 ounces dry sugar cookie mix
1 cup cashew halves

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan combine 3/4 cup of the candies and milk. Melt over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat.
  • Prepare cookie mixes according to package directions. Stir melted chocolate into half the dough. Form chocolate dough into two 12-inch long rolls about 1 inch in diameter. Wrap in wax paper or foil. Chill until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Divide plain dough in half. On a well-floured surface, roll each plain half out to a 12 x 6 inch rectangle. Place a chocolate roll on long edge. Roll up, pressing doughs lightly together so plain dough encases chocolate roll. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Wrap each roll in wax paper or foil. Chill about 2 hours until firm. Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C).
  • Cut each roll into 1/4 inch slices. Place 2 slices so they are touching on greased baking sheet. In the center of each chocolate circle, place one of the remaining candies for eye. Where the slices touch, place a cashew to form nose.
  • Bake until the plain cookie is lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheets 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and cool on wire racks.
