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 Grape-Nuts� cereal, with a new, unused 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 Grape-Nuts� "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.
