During the school year, I have a job as a nanny of three boys under the age of six. While I absolutely love playing with the boys, I can only run so much and I only have so much energy. So when my energy has depleted, I like to try to come up with creative arts and crafts projects for the boys while I recover from our last game of "a boy and a girl walking through the jungle".
The other day, I decided I wanted to make some play dough for the boys. For some reason, they have no actual play dough in the entire house. There are SO MANY recipes for edible play dough scoured through pretty much every source imaginable. On a whim, I decided I wanted to make peanut butter play dough, because who doesn't love peanut butter? The boys I watch constantly ask for a spoonful of peanut butter as their treat for the day.
Looking throughout recipes and recipes, I finally found the golden one. It tastes pretty darn good and molds to shapes just as normal play dough would. The only downside to this recipe is that it tends to crumble if gone unused. Other than that, this recipe is perfect to kids to play with- and for adults to eat!
Edible Peanut Butter Play Dough
2 c. confectioners sugar
1 c. peanut butter
1/2 c. honey
Place all ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Stir until all ingredients are combined. Use hands to combine crumbs into balls. Now you're ready to play!
