Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl (Microwave Safe Bowl)
- Parchment Paper
- Baking Sheet Optional: You may want to place the parchment paper onto a rimmed baking sheet to help contain the powdered sugar.
Ingredients
- 12 Extra Large Marshmallows
- 3 Cups Powdered Sugar 1 cup per 4 marshmallows
- Red Food Color
- Blue Food Color
- Edible Glitter I used Wilton Sprinkles Sugar in Silver, also from Target.
- Cooking Spray
Instructions
- Start by preparing a workspace by laying a sheet of parchment paper onto a flat surface. (A baking sheet, cutting board, craft board or even the kitchen counter would all work perfectly for this project.)3 Cups Powdered Sugar
- Pour 1 cup of powdered sugar onto the parchment paper then use your hand to spread it out over the paper.
- After that, add 4 extra large marshmallows to a medium to large size microwave-safe bowl then heat them in the microwave for 30 seconds. (The jumbo marshmallows will expand pretty quickly and will puff up rather big.)12 Extra Large Marshmallows
- Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave after 30 seconds, then spray your spatula with cooking spray and whip the melted marshmallows.
- When the marshmallow consistency is smooth add food color and stir the mixture. If a deeper color is desired simply add a few more drops of food color and stir.Red Food Color
- Then pour the melted marshmallow onto the powder sugar. Use your hands or a spoon to scoop up the sugar and dump it onto the liquid marshmallow.
- Finally, when the melted marshmallow is cool to the touch spray a layer of cooking spray on your hands then squish the marshmallow, glittery sprinkles (if using) and powdered sugar together to create easy fluffy slime.Edible Glitter, Cooking Spray
