Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use natural peanut butter instead of regular peanut butter?
Yes, you can use natural peanut butter, but be aware that it may result in a slightly different texture. Natural peanut butter tends to be oilier, so you might need to adjust the amount of nonfat dry milk to achieve the right consistency. Just mix well and add the dry milk gradually.
Is this play dough safe for kids to eat?
Yes, this Peanut Butter Play Doh is made with edible ingredients, making it safe for kids to eat. However, moderation is key, as it is still high in calories and sugar due to the honey. Always supervise young children during play to ensure they don’t consume too much at once.
How can I make this dough less sweet?
If you'd like a less sweet version, you can reduce the amount of honey or substitute it with a sugar-free syrup or agave nectar. You can also add a bit more nonfat dry milk to balance out the sweetness, which will help achieve the right texture while keeping it enjoyable for play.
