Making Edible Slime

Although the previous recipe makes an impressive slime, it certainly isn't edible and needs to be kept away from younger children. Here's one that's safe and can even be eaten. It tastes, well, interesting. A bit like sweetened condensed milk in fact.

You will need:

1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ teaspoon food coloring

Tip the condensed milk and cornstarch into a saucepan and cook slowly, stirring constantly. Once it thickens, remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Add the food coloring and stir well until you have an even colored slime. I normally use red or green coloring, but you can use any color.

Allow to cool before letting the kids loose!

It won't keep well so either refrigerate for a day or two or discard if it hasn't all been eaten.
