Tips for Storing Hot Cocoa Playdough
Store your hot cocoa playdough in an airtight container or zip-top bag to keep it soft and smelling like chocolate. If it feels sticky, knead in a little more flour; if it feels dry, add a few drops of water.
It smells good enough to eat, but it isn’t a snack, so keep an eye on little ones during play.
