Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, consider using creamy peanut butter instead of crunchy. If you're looking for a different flavor, try substituting almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version. You can also use honey instead of light Karo syrup for a natural sweetener. If the dough is too stiff, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.

Store any leftover Edible Play Doh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate it for up to two weeks. When ready to use, allow it to come to room temperature before molding, as it will be easier to work with when slightly softened.
