Now that you have the cornstarch and powdered sugar mixture ready, you’re one step closer to creating your own edible Starburst slime. Next, we will move on to preparing the Starburst candies for melting.
Prepare the Starburst Candies
Take your unwrapped Starburst candies and cut them into quarters using a pair of kitchen shears. This will make it easier for them to melt evenly and create a smooth consistency in your edible slime. By cutting them into smaller pieces, you’ll also speed up the melting process, saving you valuable time to enjoy your creation.
Once you have cut the Starburst candies, it’s time to melt them down. You can do this by placing the candies in a heat-safe bowl and setting it over simmering water. Stir the candies continuously until they have completely melted, and you are left with a liquid-like texture. Be careful not to overheat the candies, as they can become too sticky and difficult to work with.
Now that your Starburst candies are melted and ready to go, you can move on to the next step in creating your edible slime. Remember, the melting process is essential to achieving the desired consistency for your slime, so take your time and ensure the candies are completely melted before proceeding.
Melt the Starburst Candies
Melt half of the Starburst candies in a heat-safe bowl over simmering water, stirring constantly until fully melted. This process will help create a smooth and workable consistency for your edible slime. The candies should melt into a sticky and gooey mixture that will later be combined with the cornstarch base.
Once the candies are fully melted, remove the bowl from the heat and set it aside to cool. It’s essential to allow the melted mixture to cool slightly before adding it to the cornstarch. This will prevent the slime from becoming too runny and ensure it maintains its desired texture.
Remember to stir the melted candies occasionally as they cool to prevent them from hardening too quickly. This will make it easier to mix them with the cornstarch without any lumps or clumps forming. The cooled mixture should still be pliable and easy to work with.

Now that the Starburst candies are melted and cooled, you’re ready to move on to the next step in creating your edible slime. Mixing these melted candies with the cornstarch base will give you the final texture and consistency that makes this slime both fun to play with and safe to eat.
Continue to section 6 to learn how to combine the melted candies and cornstarch mixture to complete your homemade edible slime made from Starburst candy.
Combine the Melted Candies and Cornstarch Mixture
Pour the melted candies onto the cornstarch mixture and allow it to cool before moving on to the next step. This step is crucial for achieving the desired texture and consistency of your edible slime made from Starburst candy. As the melted candies mix with the cornstarch, they will begin to solidify and form a stretchy, gooey slime.
To combine the melted candies and cornstarch mixture, use a spoon or your hands to knead them together. Start by folding the mixture over itself, working it until it becomes less sticky. As you continue to knead, you’ll notice the slime becoming smoother and more pliable.
It’s important to take your time and thoroughly mix the melted candies and cornstarch to ensure the slime is not sticky. If you find that the slime is still too sticky after kneading for a few minutes, you can sprinkle a small amount of cornstarch onto the surface and continue kneading until the desired consistency is achieved.
Once the slime is no longer sticky, you can play with it, stretch it, and even mold it into different shapes. It’s a fun sensory activity that will entertain both kids and adults alike!
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Cornstarch | 1/4 cup |
| Powdered Sugar | 1/4 cup |
| Unwrapped Starburst Candies | 1 cup (for each color) |
Knead the Slime and Store for Later
Knead both batches of melted candies together in the cornstarch mixture until the slime is no longer sticky. This process will help incorporate all the ingredients and create a smooth and stretchy texture. You can use your hands or a spoon to knead the slime, ensuring that all the melted candies are evenly distributed.
Once you have achieved the desired consistency, it’s time to store the slime for later use. Transfer the slime into an airtight container to keep it fresh and prevent it from drying out. Make sure the container is clean and dry before placing the slime inside. Sealing it tightly will help maintain its elasticity and prevent any air exposure that could lead to hardening.
If your slime becomes a bit firm over time, don’t worry! You can re-soften it in the microwave. Simply place the container of slime in the microwave and heat it in short intervals of 10 seconds, checking the consistency after each interval. Be cautious not to overheat it as it may become too liquidy. Once the slime has softened, give it a good knead to restore its stretchiness and enjoy playing with it once again!
Remember, while edible slime is safe to eat, it should not be consumed in large quantities. It’s meant to be enjoyed as a fun and interactive treat. Always supervise children while playing with edible slime and ensure they know not to ingest large amounts. With proper storage and care, your homemade edible slime made from Starburst will provide hours of entertainment and delicious sensory play.
