5 At that time my kid was "into" the hulk) for brown beards, or caveman styles, just add 2-½ tsp cocoa to the above mixture. 
6 My kids thought it was great....and this goes back many years, since my youngest is now 1The only problem i encountered was that over time (couple of hours) the heat from the faces, tended to make the solution shiny and it started to melt.
