My recollection isn't really clear on this but I remember my mother making me a peanut butter based play-dough type material when I was very young. I would play with it, knead it, shape it, and then eat it. Probably not the most hygenic for a young both with dirty hands but I'm curious about it anyways.

Anyone ever heard of this or know what I'm talking about?

My mom has always used Kool Aid play-dough with her nursery school students, just in case there's a peanut allergy.

1.Mix peanut butter and honey together.
2.Add powdered milk until it reaches the same workable consistency as play dough.

**Cocoa powder can be added to the dough for a chocolate version.

OMG! Do you have any idea how much "play-dough" that would make? That must be the Emeril LaGasse version of the recipe :LOL:
