This was great! My toddler was able to dump in the dry ingredients and stir a bit, then I finished off the mixing and cooked it up. Be sure to continuously scrape the bottom of your pot when cooking as it goes fast once the dough heats up! I've made orange and purple so far, and it's been a hit. I store it in a Gladware container, and it's lasted over a week already. It does leave a slight sheen on the table from the small bit of oil, but it's not messy at all. Just what I was looking for! Thanks!

Took me maybe 5 minutes to make, I started making it thinking it was a non-cooking one. But then kept going and it was great, I had no idea it was so easy. I added a little yellow coloring since I didn't care if it bounced I just needed a low oil version. Works great!
