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?
Awesome! I will definitely share this with my family. Thanks.
I’m appreciating you to collect the best blog posts list for the users. Thanks for sharing.
ohh woww they are looking cool , this is such a great idea. Definitely i’ll try at my home with my kids.
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.
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.
Can’t wait to try this tomorrow! But I do have one question? Is it small or large marshmallows? Thanks!
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!)
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.
if you don’t like penut butter you could always use nutella
Love this idea. Been looking for a good play dough recipe for so long. Its so fast and easy.
