We all know kids can create the biggest messes. They can be so messy when it comes to any type of crafts such as paint or playdough. That’s part of what makes it fun though in my opinion. But, with younger children you have to worry about what they put in their mouths. I love activities like this chocolate homemade playdough recipe that younger kids can have messy fun with and it uses ingredients that are safe for kids to eat.

Do I Need to Refrigerate Leftover Playdough?

How Long is This Homemade Playdough Recipe Good?
So, edible playdough can eventually come soft and sticky depending on the recipe after awhile. The playdough recipe will roughly last you 3 days time when placed in the fridge. If your playdough does become soft or sticky for any reason, you can dust a bit of cornstarch in your hands and mix it in and it will be as good as new.
Supplies Needed
- 1 cup chocolate frosting
- 2 cups powdered sugar
How to Make Edible Chocolate Playdough
Mix the frosting and 1 cup of powdered sugar together, pressing with the back of a spoon, until it creates a sticky dough.
Continue adding powdered sugar a little at a time, kneading on a lightly sugar-dusted surface, until the desired consistency is reached.
Store playdough in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Refrigerated dough will be stiff. Allow to come to room temperature before playing.
