Ingredients
- 12 pieces (large) Marshmallows
- 1.5 cups Powdered Sugar
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil
- 3 drops per color Food Coloring
Directions
Step 1
Place the marshmallows and the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
Step 2
Microwave on high in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until the marshmallows are fully melted and combined with the coconut oil.
Step 3
Separate the melted marshmallow mixture into individual bowls if you're making multiple colors of playdough.
Step 4
Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix thoroughly until the color is evenly dispersed.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
If the dough is too sticky, dust your hands and the dough with a bit more cornstarch and knead until it smooths out.
Step 8
Repeat the process for each color you are making.
Step 9
Store the candy playdough in airtight bags or containers at room temperature for up to a week.
