Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces (large) Marshmallows
- 1.5 cups Powdered Sugar
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
- 3 drops per color Food Coloring
Instructions
Place the marshmallows and the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave on high in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until the marshmallows are fully melted and combined with the coconut oil.
Separate the melted marshmallow mixture into individual bowls if you're making multiple colors of playdough.
Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix thoroughly until the color is evenly dispersed.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar and cornstarch. Gradually add this dry mixture into the melted marshmallow mixture, stirring with a spoon at first.
When the mixture becomes too stiff to stir, use your hands to knead it. Continue adding the powdered sugar and cornstarch mixture a little at a time until the texture becomes pliable and no longer sticky.
If the dough is too sticky, dust your hands and the dough with a bit more cornstarch and knead until it smooths out.
Repeat the process for each color you are making.
Store the candy playdough in airtight bags or containers at room temperature for up to a week.
