Peanut Butter Playdough Recipe
Your kids are going to love this edible playdough. It tastes like candy!
After your kids create their sculptures and masterpieces, they can let them air dry for an hour or two (so the items get a “crust”), then stick them in a Ziploc. Your kids can snack on their art at a later time.

Short Video Tutorial for How to Make Peanut Butter Playdough
Directions to Make Edible Playdough from peanut Butter
Step 1
Put the marshmallows and peanut butter into a small dish and microwave for ten seconds. This should lightly soften your marshmallows making them easier to mix.
Step 2
Stir the peanut butter and marshmallow together until it is smooth. Sprinkle powdered sugar onto the dough until it is no longer sticky. I am guesstimating the amount of the powdered sugar.

How to FiX Peanut Butter Playdough
If your dough is still sticky, you will want to sprinkle more on.
So yummy!! And a great protein snack for kids (well, minus the sugar). I am going to try a version later that uses almond flour instead of the powdered sugar.

How did you like the edible peanut butter playdough recipe?
Love it! Definitely pinning and sharing. Can’t wait to try it!
How fun and you don’t have to worry about the kiddos eating it!
Great idea!! I love seeing those little hands play with this! It’s a staple in our home, we make a version without the marshmallows: Peanut butter, melted coconut oil or butter and dry milk powder, it tastes like Reese’s peanut butter cups without the sugar :).
Hi – could you give me the measurements for this playdough – I much prefer this without the sugar xxx
This is so interesting! I am tempted to try this even though my daughter hates peanut butter 🙂 Having three kids so close in age must be both exhausting and fun 🙂 Thanks for sharing with Afterschool!
This would be perfect for trying with my youngest! Thanks for linking up at Tell Me About IT Tuesday on womanofmanyroles.com
This is a fantastic idea! I have a question, though… do you know if this would work with other nut butters? Like almond butter or sunflower butter? My daughter has a peanut allergy but I’d love to be able to make something similar for her!
I would think it would be fine. We end up with these recipes through experimentation – so go in with a little exploration in mind!
Thanks for the tip. 🙂 Love your blog!

This looks like fun and so tasty too! Thanks for sharing and linking up with us at #WWDParty.
Hello! I wanted to hop over and let you know we are featuring this recipe at the Next Tell Me About It Tuesday.
Thanks for sharing!!
I will have to try this! My 12 year-old son still talks about the peanut butter play-doh I made with him when he was in preschool. I remember it took a ton of powdered sugar. This sounds so much simpler. I’ll have to walk down memory lane and make this for us 🙂
This is a GREAT recipe! Thanks for sharing!!! Stopping by as co-host of Homemade link Party.
Peanut Butter and Playdough-two words I never would have thought would go together. Thanks for sharing!
I would love to have you hop over and share with us at Tell Me About It Tuesday!

Hi – just saw this awesome post – just wondering if you have tried the Almond flour yet? I cant use that much sugar for my son 🙁 …………….although maybe I could use a sugar substitute like xylitol?? 🙂
What an easy amazing recipe! We made this last night with my 3 and 6 yos. They loved making it from ingredients we already had and seeing the mixture transform into playdough, and edible playdough no less. Thank you for posting this great idea.
I love this idea! I tried it with cocoa powder instead of the powdered sugar and it worked wonderfully. And it has the benefit of no extra sugar, and dark chocolate flavonoids (oh, also, because then it tastes like chocolate). I linked ya up here: http://makeathomemomma.blogspot.com/2014/02/edible-peanut-butter-play-dough.html
Thanks for the idea!

Love this idea. Been looking for a good play dough recipe for so long. Its so fast and easy.
if you don’t like penut butter you could always use nutella
Ok, I am the pot stirrer. We have a two year old and wanted to know what ages this would be appropriate? I don’t want to teach my child to eat play dough as she will not be able to determine what play dough she can eat and what she cannot. I find this to be quite dangerous and irresponsible.
I found this posting under “toddler activities” btw! Thanks for your reply.
I’ll be making this for my 5 and 2 yr old! Thanks for the recipe!
(@Anastasia, we play with all sorts of sensory goodies – mine understand they can’t eat the shaving cream/glue/silly putty/slime/etc, but it’s ok to eat what mom says is ok. Just explain!)
Can’t wait to try this tomorrow! But I do have one question? Is it small or large marshmallows? Thanks!
Really Anastasia?? You can’t determine fir yourself what age this would be appropriate for? Its YOUR child. You be the hedge. Good grief.
and all you have yo do is tell your child this you may eat and this you may not. Dont even call it “playdough” if you think its that hard. Call it something else.
This recipe brought back memories as we used to make this in Girl Scouts but not as playvdough. It was callled no bake peanut butter cookies or snack.
ohh woww they are looking cool , this is such a great idea. Definitely i’ll try at my home with my kids.
I’m appreciating you to collect the best blog posts list for the users. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! I will definitely share this with my family. Thanks.
