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.

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 did you like the edible peanut butter playdough recipe?
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).

Thanks for the idea!

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.
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?? 🙂
This is a fantastic idea!!! love this so much and so will my kids. Even my almost 9 year would love this!!

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 🙂
