February is national chocolate month, so I made chocolate play dough for C and R this week. It smells so good. This is the
recipe I used:
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup salt
- 1/2 TBSP cream of tartar
- 1 1/2 TBSP cooking oil
- 1 cup boiling water
Mix all of the ingredients
really well in a saucepan and then heat over low heat until it forms a ball. Once it is cool enough to handle, knead it with your hands. Store the play dough in an airtight container.
I gave C and R rolling pins and heart shaped cookie cutters to play with the dough.
I have seen recipes for
edible chocolate play dough, but I'm not really sure if it is something I want to try. Eating play dough? Maybe someday. For now, we will just enjoy the aroma of this dough!

Awesome!!!
I'll do anything that has the word "chocolate" in it!!!
Thanks for sharing!!!
Love that idea!
It will have to emphasize that it is NOT edible!
oo how fun!! I think I will have to do chocolate next time! I did strawberry this month :-)
We've made play dough cookies. The consistency of the dough is like play dough, but you cook it. That's really fun.
That must smell amazing! I lkove the look of the pink rolling pin with it, too =)
National chocolate month!?! So much better than national soup month :) I think we'll have to make some tootsie rolls.
What a neat idea! I am thinking though that Selena would eat it.
I think I might have the stuff to make this. Cute!
I am kind of thinking the same as Debbie - that Anna would be too preoccupied with chocolate thoughts to enjoy the dough :) I saw a great idea on Counting Coconut blog to use a mold from chocolate candies to make pretend candies with chocolate dough.
I bet that did smell good, morning sickness and all. There would be no stopping my Juiciness from taking a taste test, however!
What a great dough to pretend-play baker! Love all the pink in that last picture!
I bet this smells so good! Another thing I'd planned to have made already for Jack. Hopefully this weekend.
R is getting so big girl Christy! She is so pretty!
I'm pretty sure I NEED to make this. The kids would love playing with it all day!
