Why would you want to make edible slime?
Maybe you need a completely borax free slime for one reason or another! All of the basic slime activators including borax powder, saline or contact solutions, eye drops, and liquid starch all contain borons. These ingredients will be listed asborax, sodium borate, and boric acid. Maybe you just don’t want to use or can’t use these ingredients!
Or maybe you have a lot of candy hanging around, and want to do something cool with it, like make an edible slime. We have also made peeps slime which you can see here.
There’s a drawer in our pantry that holds all of our holiday candy, and it can be overflowing after certain times of the year, so we love to check out Candy Science Experiments too.

TASTE SAFE SLIME OR EDIBLE SLIME?
These words are used interchangeably, but here are my thoughts. This gummy bear edible slime recipe is non-toxic, but I never suggest eating edible slimes as snacks. You can also call it borax-free slime!
You can certainly have a taste or two here and there, and this is especially important if you have a kid who likes to put everything in his or her mouth! I like to call these kinds of slime recipes taste-safe.

HOW TO MAKE GUMMY BEAR SLIME
Adult supervision is needed for this slime as the mixture will be hot!
1. Place the gummy bears in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds.
2. Stir well and reheat as needed to make the mixture completely smooth (no lumps or bear parts left).

3. Once melted stir well to help the mixture cool down. HOT, HOT, HOT!
4. Combine cornstarch and icing sugar together, and place half on a cutting board or clean surface (like your counter).
Make sure the candy has cooled well before starting to mix. The melted gummy bears will be hot!

5. Pour the gummy bear mixture onto the cornstarch mixture and when cool enough to touch, knead in the remaining cornstarch mixture.
It will be sticky at first but continue to knead and it will get less sticky.

6. Once all of the cornstarch is incorporated, knead in a bit of oil to help make the slime more stretchy and elastic. You will probably not need the full amount of oil.
This slime can be re-heated once more for a second play but it is intended to be a one-time use recipe.
Divide up the gummy bear colors and make a couple of batches as seen in the video above!
