Equipment

  • Saucepan filled with water
  • Heatproof bowl
  • Rubber or silicone spatula
  • Storage jar, optional

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup beeswax
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • 4 tablespoons cocoa butter
  • 4 teaspoons powdered sugar (icing sugar), sifted
  • 1 teaspoon flavoring extract
  • Food coloring

Instructions 

  • Melt the fats
    Make a double boiler using a saucepan filled with water and another glass bowl. Then, place the beeswax, coconut oil, and cocoa butter inside the heatproof bowl. Allow the ingredients to slowly melt over simmering water. Make sure to stir constantly to prevent any part from burning.
    1/4 cup beeswax, 1/4 cup coconut oil, 4 tablespoons cocoa butter
  • Add the remaining ingredients
    Once you have a uniform liquid, you can remove it from the heat and add your powder sugar, flavoring, and coloring. Whisk the ingredients together so that they can be evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

  • Store the edible paint for adults
    Once your paint has been mixed and made, allow it to cool. Place it inside a sterile mason jar for later use. The mixture will firm up as it cools, so make sure to reheat it right before using. But, it shouldn't be so hot that it burns your skin.
