Edible play dough recipe

Here's a fun alternative to play dough.  It's edible!  I made this with Ryan yesterday and he loved it.  Put it in the refrigerator when you aren't using it and it will keep.


Yes, that's a Kool-Aid smile (actually it's a Crystal lite smile!)


See my snake?

He and I both ate a few bites.  Its SWEEEET.

INGREDIENTS1/3 cup margarine, softened, or shortening




1/3 cup light corn syrup



1 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract or 1 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Peppermint Extract (I used Maple)



1/4 teaspoon salt



1 package (16 ounces) confectioners' sugar



McCormick® Assorted Food Colors and Egg Dye or McCormick® Assorted NEON! Food Colors and Egg Dye



DIRECTIONS

1. Mix margarine, corn syrup, extract and salt in large bowl. Add sugar; mix with hands until well blended. Add additional corn syrup if mixture is too dry.







2. Divide the mixture into as many portions as you would like to color. Add food color to each portion; knead well.







3. Shape into flowers and other stuff you can eat! Store in an airtight container.
