Our passion here is in providing slime recipes that everyone can enjoy, which means ensuring we have plenty of cool recipes for edible slime to share too! Some kids like to taste stuff but still want to enjoy the slimy experience. Making and playing with slime is an amazing tactile sensory experience (cool science, too), whether you make it with borax or gummy bears!
What Is Edible Slime Made Of?
Yes, we love our classic slime recipes using proper slime activators like liquid starch, saline solution, and borax powder, but we also love these new edible slime recipe ideas below. Completely borax free, if you are looking for something a little different, start with the ingredients in your kitchen pantry.
Edible slime can be made of…
- Candy
- Condensed milk
- Chocolate
- Cornstarch
- Corn syrup
- Powdered sugar
- Pudding
- Marshmallows
- Oil
Read on to find out how to make edible slime your kids will love!
How Do You Make Edible Slime?
Some kids are still in the tasting everything phase of life, and our traditional slimes are NOT taste-safe, even just a bite. Therefore, you need an edible slime recipe instead.
Or maybe you need to accommodate kids of multiple ages and ensure everyone has a safe experience (just in case there is a nibbler in the group).
Some kids might also have sensitive skin to the common ingredients in slime activators, especially if they are already sensitive to laundry detergents, soaps, and cleaning products.
Lastly, you may not have access to some of the different supplies needed to make our basic slime recipes. But you do have the edible slime ingredients mentioned above in your pantry!

Do You Want To Eat Edible Slime?
Yes and no! Edible slime is non-toxic and made without borax. However, is it a slimy snack for your kids to chow down on? NO! Although everything is labeled edible, I think these slime recipes are TASTE-SAFE.
If your kids taste it, they will be safe. That said, some of these recipes will be tastier than others. Some kiddos will naturally want to taste slime, and some won’t. Always keep the needs of your kids in mind when making slime!
DISCLAIMER: Please double-check all food allergies among kids making this slime. We never recommend that edible slime be eaten as a snack.
