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.
    A cutting board on a white marble cooktop displays candy corn pieces, with a small, sharp knife separating the white and yellow sections. Two small glass bowls hold the separated colors, arranged neatly side by side.
  • 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.
    An overhead view on the white marble cooktop shows a spoon stirring the melted candy corn and marshmallow mixture in a glass bowl, creating a smooth, glossy blend.
  • 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.
    On a white marble cooktop, the cooled mixture is kneaded on a powdered sugar-dusted cutting board. Hands, also dusted with powdered sugar, press and fold the mixture until it’s smooth, pliable, and no longer 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.
