Tasty Tuesday: Make Edible Play Dough!

This week for Tasty Tuesday, we’re twisting it a little bit and making something that you can use as a learning activity for your kids as well, and is completely safe for them to taste.

With all the rain and miserable weather we’ve had lately, I needed something to keep my older 3 kids occupied for some time.  Insert Edible Play Dough!  I really don’t like regular playdough.  The smell, it getting stuck to everything and tracked through the house, I really just don’t like it.  Edible play dough was different!  It was fun, molded very well, and smelled great!

First off, note that this recipe includes peanut butter.  I definitely don’t recommend it if you have peanut allergy!

To make the Edible Play Dough, gather the following ingredients into a bowl:

*1 cup peanut butter
*1/2 cup honey
*2 cups powdered sugar

Combine together and mix.  I recommend spraying the measuring cup with pam so the peanut butter and honey slides right on out.  It will end up as a large ball of dough!

Separate into smaller sections if needed and PLAY!  We used wax paper as a barrier between the dough and our table and it worked great!

Kids had a blast!  When you’re done, put the dough in a baggie to save for later!  I personally didn’t try the dough, but I know my 2 year old did!  She liked it!
