Edible Play Dough?!
Edible Play Dough?
has anyone ever tried this following play dough from Recipe Goldmine http://www.recipegoldmine.com/childclay/...
Edible Play Dough recipe
1/3 cup margarine
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 pounds confectioners’ sugar
Food coloring
Mix all ingredients together. Make shapes, then eat. This dough can be refrigerated in a plastic bag or bowl.
did it turn out good? were you able to shape or mold the dough? i tried today and it did not turn out as i imagined it would be. i couldnt shape, roll, nor mold the dough whatsoever. i added more icing sugar, still did not work. later on i added corn starch and it became even worse
it is a play dough alright, but aint fun at all as you can not shape it whatsoever but coloring and eating it
Anyone has any idea what i did wrong here?
Thanks!

thank you to those who typed me recipes, but I actually don't need recipes as there are tons on the net and what some of you typed me are the ones i have read as well.
I need to know for those who have tried the recipe that i tried here, did you find the recipe to be misleading as well, or any tips for me what i might have done wrong, etc...such as the experience of Butterfly 78, she also failed as well...
but is there anyone who had tried it and succeeded; i would like to know whether i need to add more ingredients etc
Thanks!

Thanks! I did this and it got all crumbly on me. I ended up using a salt dough recipe which is.
2 cups of flour
1/2 cup of salt
1/2 of shortening
4 tbls. cornstarch
Water
food coloring
a few drops of pepermint oil so it won't mold
This seems to work pretty well and you can mold and bake it easily. That is revolting, I would never eat it. But sure as hell I would play with it! I've made peanut butter playdough and kool-aide playdough. Neither recipe called for margarine or sugar.This recipe however, looks like a cookie dough recipe. If you use it, make sure kids use it right away and get rid of it or eat it soon! I like Peanut Butter Playdough the best. Here is one recipe:
There are lots of variations online.
12 oz Peanut butter
6 tb Honey
1/2 c (to 1 1/2 cups) nonfat dry -milk powder
Combine all ingredients, add more dry milk if needed to keep it from being sticky. no but thanx cuz now i will Try one of these!!
1/2 cup salt
2-1/2 cups flour
2 packages Kool-Aid
3 tablespoons oil
2 cups boiling water
Directions:
Mix dry ingredients. Add oil. Add water and knead.
Storage:
Store in plastic bags in the refrigerator.
OR!!!!
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup dry milk powder
1. Place honey, peanut butter and vanilla in a small mixer bowl. Turn electric mixer on to medium speed. Beat until creamy.
2. Turn speed down to low. Slowly beat in milk powder, about 2 tablespoons at a time, and beat until well blended.
3. Take mixture out of bowl and place on a clean counter. With clean hands, knead the mixture. To knead, push the dough away from you with the heels of your hands. Then, move the mixture in front of you one-fourth turn to the right in a circular direction. Then, lift the mixture farthest from you and fold over. Continue kneading (push, turn, and fold) for 2 to 3 minutes or until mixture is flexible and holds together. If mixture is sticky, knead in a small amount of powdered milk. If mixture seems dry, knead in a few drops of water.
4. Form dough into desired shapes, adding a few drops of water if needed. When finished, store dough in a plastic bag at room temperature. Dough will keep for a few days.
5. If desired, you can dry the shapes by placing them on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 200° oven for 30 minutes or until dry.
If you play with the dough for a long time, some of the peanut butter oil may "leak" out of the dough so protect your clothing while playing with it.
the last one.... thats the best b/c it's CHOCOLATE!!!!
Chocolate Play Dough
8 oz. semisweet chocolate
1/4 cup plus one tablespoon light corn syrup
Melt the chocolate in a metal bowl set over a pan of simmering water (a double boiler). Stir the chocolate with a spoon until smooth, then stir in the corn syrup. The chocolate will stiffen almost immediately but stir completely combined. Transfer the chocolate to a sturdy plastic bag and refrigerate until firm; the consistency will be that of Play Dough.
When firm, the dough can be worked by kneading. If it is too hard, cut off small pieces and knead until pliable. If the dough sticks to the counter when rolling, lightly spray counter or breadboard with vegetable spray or lightly grease with vegetable oil.
