How to Make Edible Gummy Bear Slime

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1

   Melt the Gummy Bears: Place your gummy bears in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds.

2. 2

   Achieve Smoothness: Stir the gummy bears thoroughly. If there are still lumps or un-melted pieces, reheat in 10-15 second intervals, stirring well after each, until the mixture is completely smooth and liquid.

3. 3

   Cool the Mixture: Stir the melted gummy bear mixture to help it cool down. **Caution: The mixture will be very hot!** Allow it to cool until it's warm but safe to touch.

4. 4

   Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine your cornstarch and icing sugar. Place about half of this dry mixture onto a clean cutting board or your countertop.

5. 5

   Combine and Knead: Pour the cooled gummy bear mixture onto the prepared dry ingredients. Once it's cool enough to handle, begin to knead the mixture. Gradually incorporate the remaining cornstarch and icing sugar mixture. It will be sticky at first, but keep kneading; it will become less sticky as you work it.

6. 6

   Add Oil for Stretch: Once all the dry ingredients are incorporated and the slime is no longer excessively sticky, add a small amount of oil (start with about 1/2 teaspoon and add more only if needed). Knead the oil into the slime to make it more stretchy and elastic. You likely won't need the full amount of oil.

7. 7

   Play and Store: Your edible gummy bear slime is now ready to play with! When not in use, store it in an airtight container at room temperature.
