EDIBLE SLIME RECIPE
Gummy Bear Slime

  • 1 cup gummy bears
  • 2-3 Tablespoons icing sugar
  • 2-3 Tablespoons cornstarch

#1
Heat the gummy bear slime in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, stir, and reheat as necessary to break down the gummy bear shape.

#2
Knead in your icing sugar and cornstarch in equal amounts, until the gummy bear slime forms a cohesive dough/slime consistency. The more you add, the less sticky the slime will be – but also the more you add the thicker and less stretchy it will be .
