An edible chocolate pudding slime is a fun alternative to the classic slime recipes that use borax! We make edible candy slime from marshmallows, gummy bears, peeps, taffy, and more, but this one takes the cake! See the easy pudding slime recipe and video below.
Pudding Slime Recipe
This will resemble more of what we call slime dough! While edible slime can still achieve a stretchy consistency, it doesn’t have the same texture and consistency as our basic slime recipes.
However, edible slime or playdough is highly engaging for the senses because you can do more than feel it! Yes, you can have a nibble (we don’t recommend eating it like a snack) and smell it!
💡 TIP: Use any pudding flavor you prefer, including vanilla or butterscotch. You can try this shark theme pudding slime here.
Ingredients:
- Chocolate pudding mix
- Cornstarch
- Very warm water
- Gummy worms (Optional – for decoration and play)
How to Make Pudding Slime
STEP 1: Combine ¼ cup instant pudding mix and 1/2 cup cornstarch well with a whisk. Be sure to break up all the clumps because it is harder to dissolve once you add the water.
STEP 2 Stir in ⅓ cup of very warm water until you can longer mix with the whisk.
STEP 3: Then add in another ½ cup cornstarch. Knead with your hands until the pudding slime is smooth and all the cornstarch is incorporated. Yes, the hands will need to dig into the mixture!
The consistency of this pudding slime mixture comes up somewhere between playdough and slime. Add a little oil to loosen up the texture if you like.

Tips & Tricks For The Best Pudding Slime
The unique textures make borax-free slime so much fun for kids! Each has its own AMAZING sensory experience using sight, smell, sound, touch, and even taste!
Everyone has a different slime consistency preference, so we encourage you to play around with the measurements to find your favorite textures.
- Cooking oil can help to loosen the slime so that it’s more fluid or stretchy. It can also help if the slime seems a bit dry. Add just a few drops at a time!
- Edible slime tends to be messy to make, so be prepared for clean up.
- The slime won’t last as long as regular slime. Keep in a sealed container overnight and you may get another day of play.
- Each edible slime will be unique! Yes, each slime has its own texture.
- A borax-free slime needs to be kneaded! These types of slimes are very hands-on and do well with the warmth from your hands.
- The slime may feel like soft playdough. It won’t ooze everywhere, but they will spread and squish, but are not moldable usually.
