Create easy DIY slime without glue that is both colorful and tasty with this edible slime recipe. A fun kids craft tutorial that is perfect for any age.

Hey, hey Kenarry Readers! Trish here with a three-ingredient easy edible slime recipe just in time for summer. The truth is that my little guy does not need the excuse of a season to make slime. In fact, I am a bit surprised at how long this “slime” phase has lasted. We have been making DIY slime without glue at our house for three years now and it is rare that we repeat a tutorial or recipe. Of course, that is fine by me! I happen to love this phase and the smiles it brings my little guy which are especially big when the slime is edible and made from Starburst candy.

a few tips Before we get to the easy Edible slime recipe!

Wash those little hands! Clean hands mean that this easy edible slime really is safe to eat.
Paper bowls can be microwaved! And paper bowls make for the easiest edible slime clean-up; therefore, if you happen to have bowls on hand from the last party you hosted I highly recommend you use them.
Plastic knives are just as awesome as paper bowls! They make fantastic disposable spatulas.
Use cooking spray. If you do not have paper goods on hand or prefer to use a pyrex bowl and kitchen spatula my tip is to add a light layer of cooking spray on both before using them.

Kitchen Supplies Needed:

Parchment Paper
Measuring Cups
Microwave Safe Bowl or Paper Bowl
Spatula or Plastic Knife
Cooking Spray, if desired

Ingredients Needed:

1 big bag of Starburst
1/4 cup Corn Starch
1/4 cup Powdered Sugar

Instructions:

1. Prepare Candy & Space TO CREATE easy edible Slime

Begin by unwrapping all of the Starburst candies then separate them by color.

Next, prepare a space for mixing the edible slime by placing a sheet of parchment paper onto a flat surface; countertop, cookie sheet, cutting board or table.

Then measure 1/4 cup of both corn starch and powdered sugar before pouring them both onto the parchment paper. Use your fingers or a spoon to mix the two powders together until they are well blended.

2. Melt Candy for Edible Slime

Pour one color of Starburst into a microwave safe bowl (or paper bowl) then heat it in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Remove the bowl from the microwave then stir it with a spatula (or plastic knife/spoon).

If all of the candies do not melt and blend when you are stirring the gooey Starburst return the bowl to the microwave for an additional 15 seconds then stir it again. After the goo is smooth allow it to rest in the bowl for 4-5 minutes or until the melted candy is cool to touch.

3. Mix Melted Candy with Powder Ingredients

Once the candy has cooled enough to touch it with your fingers pour it onto the prepared powder ingredients. Use your hands to press the powders into the Starburst and continue to add corn starch and powdered sugar to the melted candy until the desired consistency for your Starburst slime is achieved and it is no longer sticky.

4. Repeat EDIBLE SLIME STEPS and Play

Repeat steps one thru three for the remaining Starburst flavors. There will be plenty of corn starch and powdered sugar for all of the colors of candy then squish, mold and even eat the edible slime.

5. Preserve, If Desired

If your edible slime remained on a clean surface during play and you would like to preserve it for another time simply place each color in a plastic bag or sealed container.

When you are ready for more slime fun, heat each flavor in a microwaveable safe bowl for 15-20 seconds then allow it to cool until it is ok for little hands to touch it. If it is too sticky add a dash of corn starch or powdered sugar and if it is too dry add a tiny bit of coconut oil.
