Halloween Slime Recipe
Equipment
- Microwave-safe bowls (medium-sized)
- Cutting Board
- Small knife (for chopping candy corn)
- Spoons for stirring
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup candy corn
- 1 1/2 cups marshmallows
- 1-2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar as needed
Instructions
- If making two-tone slime, separate candy corn colors by cutting off the white and yellow parts and placing each color in separate bowls.
- For each color batch, combine ½ tablespoon oil, ¾ cup marshmallows, and one color of candy corn in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave the mixture for 25 seconds, then stir well. Repeat heating if marshmallows aren’t fully melted.
- Stir in a couple tablespoons of powdered sugar carefully to avoid burns.
- When cool enough to handle, knead the mixture on a cutting board with more powdered sugar until it becomes less sticky.
- Repeat with the second color batch if making two-tone slime.
- Twist the two colors together and stretch the slime for play!
- If the slime hardens, microwave for 25 seconds to soften; ensure it’s cool before kids handle it.
Tips that Will Blow Your Mind!
- Use Fresh Candy Corn: Old candy corn can be too hard, making it difficult to melt smoothly. Fresh, soft candy corn will blend more easily with the marshmallows and oil, ensuring a smoother texture for your slime.
- Adjust Consistency Carefully: After each addition of powdered sugar, knead the mixture and assess the stickiness. A little goes a long way, so start with small amounts until it’s the right consistency. Too much-powdered sugar can make it crumbly, so add sparingly.
- Handle with Oiled Hands: If the slime is sticky as you’re kneading, lightly coat your hands with vegetable oil. This keeps it from sticking to your fingers and makes the kneading process easier.
- Try Food-Safe Gloves for Kids: If making this with kids, consider having them wear food-safe gloves, especially if they’ll be handling the slime while it’s still slightly warm. It adds a layer of protection from any residual warmth and stickiness.
- Color Correction for Brightness: For brighter colors, feel free to add a tiny drop of food coloring to each batch before kneading. Candy corn can sometimes look dull when mixed, so this can give the slime a fun pop!
- Storage for Play Later: This slime stays soft longer if stored in an airtight container when not in use. If it starts to harden, a quick 10-15 second zap in the microwave will make it pliable again—but let it cool before handling!
- Super Smooth Finish: For a super-smooth slime, sift the powdered sugar before adding it to the mixture.
