Chocolate Playdoh Recipe

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 2 TAB vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 cup salt
• 2 cups water
• 2 TAB cream of tartar

Add all ingredients to a medium-large saucepan (my kids loved the chocolaty smell!!)

Over medium-high heat cool, stirring constantly, until it forms a soft ball in the middle of the pan. This takes about 5 minutes.

Using your spatula scope out the playdoh on wax paper and allow to cool a couple minutes; it will be hot at this point.

Knead the playdoh a couple times to get the smooth, glossy playdoh look and enjoy! I thought it was great to have the playdoh still slightly warm!! My kids used empty chocolate boxes to put their ‘chocolates’ into. Goofy discovered that pressing them into the chocolate cavities and then dumping it over made a nice mold to get the actual chocolate shape.

My kids played with this for hours and hours and almost every day in February. Sealed in a ziplock bag our play dough lasted for almost a year!
