Homemade Hot Chocolate Play Dough Recipe Tutorial For Christmas
Before I start shoveling out the last few Thanksgiving craft posts I have – I want to take some time today to share this easy DIY Chocolate Play Dough {Recipe} with you all today.
When I first made this cocoa scented playdough for my son, I instantly thought of Christmas and us baking cookies together. This simple recipe has a VERY yummy chocolate smell and a great texture to it {it’s by far my favorite homemade play dough to date!}
