It’s Vampire season! My kiddos LOVE making slime and recently created this jiggly, edible, glow-in-the-dark Vampire Slime. It’s perfect for play or adding some gore to pumpkins, costumes and more.
It’s easy to make with just three ingredients and a microwave.
Shine a black light on it and it glows blue-white.
It’s also edible, though I’m not sure why you would want to eat it, it’s safe to use around the mouth.
Here’s how:
Edible Glow-in-the-Dark Vampire Slime Ingredients:
- 1 tsp Metamucil
- 1 cup diet tonic water
- 2-3 drops red food coloring
Edible Glow-in-the-Dark Vampire Slime Directions:
- Add the Metamucil to the tonic water in a small microwavable bowl.
- Add the food coloring. It will get darker as it processes, so keep this in mind.
- Heat mixture in microwave until it boils (about 1-4 minutes; microwaves vary)
- When the mixture boils, stir the mixture with stick or spoon.
- Cook the mixture for another 1-2 minutes.
- Stir it.
- Repeat cooking and stirring another 4 to 5 times, until it forms a gelatinous consistency.
- Remove from microwave–container will be HOT!
- Allow the mixture to cool.
- Store in an airtight container.
Note: The slime is not sticky, however, the red dye may stain some surfaces and fabrics.

October 19, 2017 at 10:06 AMWho would have thought you could make slime with that stuff? I’m not sure I’d still want to eat it, but it looks like it’d be fun and safer for the kids who put everything in their mouths haha!

October 18, 2017 at 1:05 PMInteresting what people will come up with for Halloween. Especially in the food category. Blood slime to eat, not sure I can handle that.
