Ingredients
2cupsall purpose flour
1cupsalt
1/2cupcocoa powder
2teaspoonscream of tartar
4tablespoonsvegetable oil
1cupboiling water
1teaspoonvanilla extractoptional
Assorted Valentine sprinkles
Valentine chocolate box
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, salt, cocoa powder and cream of tartar. Whisk to mix well.
Heat up water in a kettle or microwave. If you don't have access to hot water, you can use cold, it just ends up being a little more dry a dough. Pour hot water into the dry ingredients.
Next add the oil, vanilla and hot water. Stir well to incorporate. The oil is what keeps it moist and elastic so add another teaspoon, if necessary.
Remove the playdough from the mixing bowl and place it on a flat, lightly floured working surface. Knead for several minutes until a soft and elastic dough forms. Enjoy the chocolate scent! Store in a plastic zipper bag for up to 3 months.
