This looks fun!

I was watching Jon & Kate plus 8 tonight and she made edible playdough for the kids. The recipe was:

Equal parts:

powdered milk
honey
peanut butter

and a little bit of flour

Her kids seemed to LOVE it! I might have to give it a try

It doesn't taste too bad The only problem is trying to explain to the kiddos why they can eat the playdoh one time but not another

I remember that episode and meant to write down the recipe, so thank you!! I thought that was pretty cool too.

 

I'll have to look tomorrow, I also have a recipe for playdough.....not named as edible, but I don't think it would hurt.

 

Aha! I found a link !!

Now when I made this growing up, I added scents. If you look in the baking aisle, there's all kinds of things you can use. Banana extract, almond extract (which actually smells like cherries) .... I believe I even found root beer once. Coordinate it with your colors & it's a huge hit!!

 

A friend's mom made this for us when I was little and I had totally forgotten about it until the post! Thanks for the reminder.

I agree, I think it could be a problem too.

But neat idea!

 

We used to make this a lot when I was a kid (30+ years ago) but not as playdoh. The recipe was called "peanut butter honey balls" and we rolled them into little balls. They were very tasty but I can't eat them anymore because of the dairy. I wonder what else I could use in place of the milk powder. Crushed graham crackers, maybe?

 

I'm glad you posted this...I saw that episode awhile back and was going to write it down and forgot...thank!
