Step-by-step
- Heat the gummy bear slime in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, stir, and reheat as necessary to break down the gummy bear shape.
- Stir and then knead in your icing sugar and cornstarch in equal amounts, until the gummy bear slime forms a cohesive dough/slime consistency.
- The more you add, the less sticky the slime will be – but also the more you add the thicker and less stretchy it will be.
- Add a small amount of coconut oil if you want the slime to be a bit stretchier, and then dig in!
- Let the kids smoosh, squish, stretch and taste this delicious gummy bear slime.
