MAKING CHOCOLATE
PLAY DOUGH!
I cannot believe I have been a teacher for now 17 years and this is the first year I tried the chocolate play dough recipe. It is sometimes crumbly, but always so much fun because the chocolate smell that comes from this recipe is wonderful! Kids will actually think they are making real chocolate things from this dough. Of course many will try bites, but who wouldn't! I put out an oven for the play dough to be "cooked!" Add real muffin tins and rollers and other small kitchen spatulas and let them loose to create and cook! Try it! It is awesome!
Chocolate Play Dough
2 1/2 Cups Flour
1 cup cocoa powder
1 cup salt
1 T cream of tartar
3 T oil
2 cups water
Mix dry ingredients in a pot. Add water and oil and stir together over low heat until it forms a dough. Remove play dough from the pot. Knead it after it cools by hand until it feels ready to play with! Store in an air tight container or zip lock freezer bag.
