The easiest slime recipe you will ever read. There is something so nostalgic about gummy bears as they’ve been around for years! I’m sure many of us older ‘kids’ can recall eating a gummy bear or five so it’s safe to say, making this slime will bring you back to your childhood. We had a blast making this slime but we must pre-warn you before you get to the slime makin‘ – be prepared to wash your hands multiple times because slime is seriously sticky.
Place the gummy bears in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds. Stir well and reheat as needed to make the mixture completely smooth. Once melted stir well to help the mixture cool down! Combine cornstarch and icing sugar together and place half on a cutting baked or clean surface. Pour the gummy mixture onto the cornstarch and when cool enough to touch, knead in the remaining cornstarch mixture.
TIME TO PLAY. WARNING ⚠️ THIS SLIME IS SO STICKY, YOU MAY HAVE TO WASH YOUR HANDS TWICE. 🤪

Red Velvet Edible Deliciousness. The easiest slime recipe you will ever read.
For all of you who have a real sweet tooth, we have a super delicious Red Velvet edible slime recipe. We had a blast making this one, now it’s your turn to make (and eat) it. Simply add them all together, mix and hours of fun.
WARNING best to do on an outside table because this stuff can get everywhere.
Simply combine 1/4 cup of the instant choccy goodness and 1/2 cup of cornstarch and mix well with a whisk. Be sure to break up all the clumps, because once you add the water it is harder to dissolve them. Now stir in 1/3 cup of very warm water until you can no longer mix it with the whisk!
Add in another 1/2 cup of cornstarch and start kneading the ooey, choccy slime with your hands until it is smooth and all the cornstarch is incorporated.
The consistency of this slime mixture comes up somewhere between a playdough and a slime, and just a little tip from the edible slime experts themselves (that’s us) add in a little oil to loosen up the texture.
