Edible Play Dough

This is an old favorite from my childhood. Mom used to make peanut butter play dough. It was a fun activity and a great snack. It's surprisingly healthy, so I don't worry if they eat it all by the time they are done. As a kid, I thought it was like candy.

1 c. peanut butter (I recommend creamy style)
2/3-1 c. nonfat dry milk
2 tbsp. honey

Mix together ingredients. I use the dough hook in my Kitchen Aid, it's less messy. I think my mom used her hands. Add dry milk until its dry enough to handle and shape. You can use raisin for eyes, chow mein noodles for hair, Cheerios for mouths, or whatever else you want to add for creativity. In the picture my boys are practicing rolling pins and cookie cutters.
