Not exactly what I was hoping for. I used the full amounts of peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, 1/2 the amount of honey and a good cup full of the powdered milk. It was still too dry, so I added a bit more water instead of honey as other reviewers said it was sickeningly sweet. It was okay, moldable, but not the smooth, playdough like texture that I was hoping for. My daycare kids loved the taste though!

My little girls loved this! They had so much fun playing and sampling the dough. I only used powdered sugar and peanut butter as suggested by others. Thank you!!

I followed the suggestion of others and scaled it down to five servings using only the first two ingredients: peanut butter and powdered sugar. My kids had a blast and as the dough gets warm and sticky, I just add some more powdered sugar so they can continue to play. Great idea and totally worth doing with your little ones.

I've made this a few times now. It works well no matter how you make it, but I like some of the changes recommended by other users. I like sifting the powdered milk and use about half honey and half corn syrup.

You don't need the last 2 ingredients to make playdough. Try it and see.

I got the idea of making this for my 2 1/2 yr old son for Valentines Day from the "Jon & Kate plus 8" show. I LOVE this idea however the powered milk didn't mix in very well for me. I'm not sure what I did wrong but all in all it provided me with some awesome one on one time playing with my son.

Great! My son loved it, and so do I. Nice snack, good distraction for him, and I think it would go really well with a little chocolate :)

I made it with one cup confectioners sugar and one cup natural peanut butter and it's the perfect amount for my one child to have plenty to eat and play with.

This recipe needs a bit of tweaking. Our playdough came out way too dry. We added more honey, but my kids only ate about a tablespoon full each and the rest was played with for a while and then thrown out. They said it was too rich, I agree.

Only used the first two ingredients like others suggested and it worked great! My two year old loved to have playdough she could eat, though just a few bites was plenty for a snack! And cutting the recipe down to 5 servings, there's still plenty left in the fridge for another day. Thanks for the recipe of a fun treat we all remember as kids!

I've been looking for this recipe. I remember this as "edible playdough". I used this when my nieces came to visit. They had as much fun as I did as a kid.

My two year old loves this! Similar to what my mother used to make for me as a child. I prefer to half the recipe and like to use corn syrup in place of the honey for a lighter flavor. I've also found that sifting the powdered milk before adding creates a smoother textured dough.

This was really fun! Substituted Maple syrup for honey. Kids loved it and have plenty to play with for snack tomorrow! We reduced the recipe to 6. Thanks for the fun!

It wasn't bad, but I thought the honey flavor was a little strong. Still, it was fun to play with.

I teach preschool and my students loved this recipe. We mixed each ingredient at a time. Each student was given a little dry milk on a tray and a handful of the peanut butter mixture. The mixture was kneaded by the students until smooth, this was a great sensory activity! All of my students loved the taste, what an added bonus!

My 10 yr. old made this for a school demonstration project - everyone enjoyed it! We experimented with blending the pre-measured dry milk powder in blender to make it more smooth- and we liked that, too. Original recipe makes alot, we scaled it down to 2 servings and it was plenty for a snack for our 4 kids. A tasty and healthy snack!!A+
