This chocolate pudding play dough smells delicious and is a lot of fun to play with! To be honest though, it was something of an accident. We were trying to create a Fudgesicle-type dough similar to our Orange Creamsicle Dough, and while this one was more creamy than fudgey, it is one we can’t wait to make again!
Chocolate Pudding Play Dough
- 2 cups of cornstarch
- 1 box of chocolate pudding mix
- 3/4 cup of vanilla hair conditioner
- squirt of dish soap
Add the cornstarch and the chocolate pudding mix to a medium-sized mixing bowl and stir together. Measure out or eyeball about 3/4 of a cup of vanilla scented hair conditioner and add to the bowl. Any type of hair conditioner would work fine, we just liked how the vanilla smelled with the scent of the chocolate pudding.
Mix all three ingredients together with a wooden spoon and add a squirt of dish soap. It seems totally weird but do it anyway. The dish soap makes it fudgier and gives it a really great consistency. It was mold-able, yet gooey and a lot of fun to manipulate.
We got out lots of baking materials and the kids were happily engaged for hours creating decadent chocolate treats! I poured myself a cup of coffee and sat back and enjoyed all of my pretend pastries. If only they were real…
Playing with play dough is a great sensory activity for kids. It gives them a chance for open-ended exploration which is not only fun but helps to develop their critical thinking skills–totally through play. Play dough also gives those little fingers a work out and build fine motor skills, there are so many benefits to playing with play dough and trying new play dough recipes!
For play dough you can actually eat you should try our edible peanut butter play dough too!
This looks like the perfect dough to make when we are pretending to play that we are running a bakery.
Thanks JDaniel4’s Mom! It totally is!!!
Oh wow, gonna have a hard time telling the kids not to eat this 😉 x
It definitely smells good enough to eat!
That play dough definitely looks good enough to eat! Thanks for sharing a fun recipe 🙂
Can i add a pic? Our playdough was not “wet enough” just crumbled apart 🙁 gave the kids a good lesson in science…that sometimes the experiment doesn’t work….
I don’t think you can add a pic here. If you want to email me I can help you troubleshoot it!
Hi, you’ve left out 1 vital piece of information – what kind of ‘chocolate pudding mix’ – do you mean Angel Delight??? How big of a packet? Please show a pic of it? Or pm/email me pleeeeasw with the right kind?? I really would you like to try this Play-Doh but I don’t want to waste lots of the wrong ingredients!!
Hello! Any type of chocolate pudding mix should work. I have never heard of Angel Delight but if it is chocolate pudding it should be ok!
