Cool!

Also: Goodness me, the recent customer reviews of the Wilton “Candy Melts Candy” (i.e., the main ingredient in the recipe for Candy Clay that Rusty linked to, along with corn syrup and coloring) are terrible. Apparently they’ve changed the product.

It’s just powdered sugar and water. Make one batch of plain white and tint as you need it. You can add flavor extract if you want.
