Edible Chocolate Slime
An easy edible chocolate slime recipe that smells just like your favorite decadent desserts! Hot cocoa anyone?? All you need are 3 common kitchen ingredients to make one of our favorite edible slime recipes of all time!
Taste-Safe Chocolate Slime Recipe
One of our favorite boredom busters is making slime, especially during the summer when we’re cooped up inside a lot (it gets hot in Texas!)
This chocolate slime is super easy to make and smells absolutely amazing! I mean, who doesn’t love the smell of hot cocoa?! I’d say this is definitely our new favorite slime recipe!
Texture-wise, this chocolate slime is unique because it is both mold-able like play dough, and stretchy like slime. I call it “slime dough” because it’s kind of a hybrid!
One of the cool things is that because it has playdough-like properties, I find that this cocoa slime is a bit less messy than glue-slime (which sticks to everything if you’re not super careful).
And with only 3 common pantry ingredients, it couldn’t be easier to make! You don’t need to buy any special or expensive supplies!
Chocolate Play Dough Ingredients
You only need 3 simple ingredients! And you probably already have them in your kitchen!
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup coconut milk
TIP: Add a tablespoon of powdered sugar or a spoonful of chocolate syrup. You can even toss in some chocolate chips for texture. Creating your own unique mixture is even more fun!
Look how stretchy!!
Can You Actually Eat This Slime?
I just want to mention that even though this chocolate slime recipe is technically edible, I’m not advocating serving it as a snack for kids. It’s simply meant to be a safer alternative to glue-based slime.
And while it smells amazing, I created this recipe with ingredients that don’t taste very good…that way if kids do sneak a taste they won’t want to keep eating it. But it also won’t hurt them.
How to Make Edible Chocolate Slime
Add heaping 1/2 cup of cornstarch and 1 tablespoon cocoa powder to a medium mixing bowl. Whisk together until well combined and you have a light brown powder.
Heat 1/3 cup coconut milk in microwave until warm (not steaming or boiling). This should take about 20 seconds. Make sure to use a microwave-safe bowl and handle with care.
Pour warm coconut milk into mixing bowl with cornstarch and cocoa powder. Milk together with a spoon until a smooth slime begins to form.
You’ll be able to easily scoop the putty out of the bowl by hand when you’re done mixing.

A few slime-making notes:
- Always supervise kids when playing with slime or play dough, especially toddlers.
- If dough seems to dry out, heat in microwave for about 10 seconds. This softens the coconut cream in the recipe and brings back the slime texture.
- While this recipe is made with taste-safe ingredients, you probably don’t want to eat a whole batch!

Easy Slime Clean-up Tips
Not only is this edible chocolate slime recipe easy to make, it’s also easy to clean. Simply wash hands with soap and water to remove any dried dough.
Inevitably, kids will get some of the slime on the floor. I sweep up any big chunks and discard in the garbage bin, then follow with a quick mop.
I know what you’re thinking — who wants to get the mop out??
This slime recipe easily dissolves in soap and water, so I find that mopping is the best way to quickly clean up any slime that melts onto the kitchen tile.
And honestly, I love any excuse to get out my O-Cedar EasyWringTM Spin Mop & Bucket System. It’s an effortless deep cleaning experience…and I never have to touch the dirty mop or get my hands wet!

Luv this Chocolate Slime Recipe. I will try this slime recipe in next weak. I’m already share this article with my friends on pinterest.
does it work with normal milk?
It should work fine with normal milk – we usually have non-dairy milk on hand, so we used that 🙂
If you want to store leftovers, put it in the fridge or leave on counter in a bag?
I would suggest keeping in a sealed container in the fridge. You may need to re-hydrate when you play with it the next day. Since it is food-based ingredients, always check for signs of mold. I would discard after 2-3 uses. Hope this helps!
It was very sticky and wouldn’t come off my hands. What do you suggest?
Hi Sharon – If the slime is still sticky after a few minutes of kneading, I’d add in more cornstarch a tablespoon at a time until it holds together more consistently. Coating kids’ hands with coconut oil or vegetable oil also helps prevent slime from sticking to hands while they play. Hope this helps!
I love this. I am not sure what we did wrong but it was to liquidy. Can you please tell me what brand you may use for the milk and the powder. I used just the powder packet for hot chocolate since I had that on had and I had a can of coconut milk. Just trying to see where I went wrong so we can try again 😉
My guess is that since you used a packet of hot cocoa powder, this was a lot less solid ingredients vs. liquid. We used cocoa powder for baking. However, you can add more cornstarch as needed to thicken it up. Hope this helps!
Hi! Would this work with just water?
It should work! Might not look quite as “creamy” but still fun!
