It’s okay – I just found my answer by reading the ingredient list properly LOL! It’s the boiling water that makes it hot and needs to cool down a bit. Ha ha!

I’m really excited to try this recipe! You say to let it cool for 10 minutes before kneading the dough. Did I miss something…I didn’t see any isntructions to cook it? How does the dough get “heated up” so that it has to cool down afterwards?

I need to make enough for 10 kids. How much does one batch make and would you just multiply the ingredients accordingly or would you have to adjust any ingredients?

Here is some help for anyone trying this! I found glycerin at Whole Foods in the personal care aisle (like by lotions). I couldn’t find it at Target… I made a double batch and it made 5-6 snowmen kits for me. Remember if you make a double batch, you have to knead twice as long. ;) Don’t use a whisk! Mine got playdough all stuck in it… duh. :) I used twice as much glitter as it called for, and it was just glittery enough, in my opinion. I didn’t use extract, vanilla or vanillin (wish I had, though!) but i did find it sticky after kneading for 10 minutes or so, so added about 3/4 cup more flour (remember, doubled). Once it cooled completely it seemed okay consistency… We’ll see tomorrow!

I live over 6,000 feet above sea level (in the mountains of Utah), so I wasn’t sure if I would have to make any changes. I have to alter when baking, but I wasn’t sure if this would count, and because of the warnings in the directions not to add extra flour, I was afraid to.

But for anyone else high up like me, I had to add a lot of extra flour. My first double-batch, I had powdered vanilla, and I had to add a smidgen over 2 cups extra flour to get it to close to the proper consistency. When I switched to clear liquid vanilla, I had to increase up to 3-4 extra cups of flour.

That said, it came out great! Next time, though, I might add a little extra glitter to compensate for how much extra flour I had to add, but the texture was still fantastic! And people loved the gift too! So thanks for the idea! :)

In reply to Erin. Oh, thank goodness. Nothing worse than a sick bubba AND being cooped up inside the house! Glad things are looking up!

Haha, perfect, thank you. We’ve been to the doctor (again) and he’s on antibiotics now – it’s rapidly getting better now.
