How to Make Chocolate Marshmallow Slime
First, add marshmallows to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30-second intervals to melt. Don’t overheat them, as they will burn! This should take about a minute.
Caution, the marshmallows will be very hot!
Remove the bowl carefully from the microwave using potholders as needed. Stir carefully to evenly distribute heat. Heat again if needed. A bag of marshmallows should take about a minute to cook, but heating in increments will ensure they don’t burn.
🔎 SCIENCE TIP: Have you ever noticed what happens to marshmallows in the microwave? It’s an example of a physical change, and you can read more about it below.
Then, add the instant chocolate pudding mix to the marshmallows and stir! This step will also help the mixture cool down and give it an incredible chocolate flavor.
Next, powder sugar your hands and then knead the mixture! It’s time to get a bit messy!
💡 Powdered sugar is a key ingredient in most edible slime recipes. Although you can use cornstarch or a mixture of cornstarch and powdered sugar, the taste will be affected. However, you can achieve a firmer substance when using cornstarch.
Continue to add powdered sugar to the mixture till the stickiness is gone!
Knead and stretch the mixture, adding powdered sugar as you go to keep everything from sticking. This edible chocolate slime contains sugar, and sugar eventually sticks! If you play with your chocolate slime for a long time, you will have to add more powdered sugar for fun play.
💡 Note: A few drops of vegetable oil on the hands before kneading can also help with the stickiness!
Edible slime can sometimes resemble a stretchy playdough type of substance, but this one has a great stretch! Edible slime will never feel the same as our traditional homemade slime recipes.
How much you snack on this incredibly fun and chocolatey edible slime is up to you! It’s taste-safe, borax-free, edible, and non-toxic, but I am not sure if your dentist will be a big fan of it!
How long will edible slime last?
Unlike our regular homemade slime recipes, this edible slime won’t last as long. Store in a covered container, and it should be suitable for another round of play the next day. Although edible slime doesn’t last as long, it’s still great fun for kids to try out if they love new sensory experiences.
🛑 TIP: Try warming it up in the microwave for 10 seconds before you play the next day. Adults make sure the mixture is cool enough to play with, too!
What happens to marshmallows when you heat them in the microwave?
The main change that occurs when you heat marshmallows is a physical change. As the marshmallow is heated, its molecules gain energy and vibrate more rapidly. This causes the marshmallow to soften and expand as air pockets trapped within the marshmallow expand. The marshmallow may change texture, becoming gooey or caramelized, but the chemical composition of the marshmallow remains essentially unchanged.

Chemical changes may also occur at higher temperatures, especially if the marshmallow is heated for a long time. These changes can include caramelizing the sugars in the marshmallow. This results in the formation of new substances and, of course, changes to the taste and smell of the marshmallow.
Additionally, if the marshmallow is exposed to very high temperatures, such as when toasted over an open flame, it may undergo some degree of charring. Burning the marshmallow results in a chemical change.
