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. When I first made this for my son, I instantly thought of Christmas and us baking cookies. This simple recipe has a yummy chocolate smell and a great texture to it. {it’s by far my favorite homemade play dough to date!}

It does require some cooking but it’s not complicated or too time consuming. This play dough recipe is super easy to make, the supplies are probably already in your pantry {if not – they are pretty inexpensive} and your little baker can practice their baking skills for hours with it.

So what are you waiting for? Grab your supplies, some cookie cutters and get to work! This is a must-do for the holiday season – for kids & adults!!! {cause I had just as much fun playing with it, as my son did!} #gluedtomycrafts

Ingredients:

* 2 cups water
* 1 1/2 cup flour
* 1 cup table salt
* 1/2 cup cocoa powder
* 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
* 1 1/2 tablespoons cream of tartar

Directions:

* Throw all your ingredients in a medium sized saucepan.
* Stir until well combined, over medium heat until play dough starts to foam.
* Remove from heat and let it cool a bit.
* When cool, knead play dough with your hands until smooth. If too sticky, add just a little more flour.
* Then grab some cookie cutters, a rolling pin and let your child have at it.

Store in air tight container when not using and of course – although this chocolate play dough recipe smells amazing, it’s just for pretend. {sides that – it tastes gross when ingested} Please always supervise children while they play.
