Homemade Peanut Butter Play Doh

Ok. So I am just not very dedicated to this blogging thing. :) I do have a somewhat good excuse. WE MOVED two weeks ago and WE ARE MOVING AGAIN this Saturday! It is kind of a transitional summer.

Even though life is busy, I thought I could jump online and do a quick post of a fun activity for summer- making homemade play doh. Admit it, you've eaten the nasty salty stuff. This recipe is the sweet, unhealthy, cavity-causing type :)

I was hanging out with my niece and nephew so we decided to make it together. They are the models for the photo shoot below.

Recipe:
1 C creamy peanut butter
1 C light corn syrup (or mild honey)
1 1/4 C powdered sugar
1 1/4 C instant dry milk

1. Combine peanut butter and corn syrup in a mixing bowl.
2. Add dry ingredients, and mix well. (We used our hands at the end...it is just easier)
3. Divide mixture into four sections.
4. Roll each section into a 1" rope. Wrap in plastic wrap.
5. Refrigerate 2 hours or overnight. Cut in slices and enjoy. (This was way too long for excited kids... I think ours lasted 30 minutes in the fridge.)

Ta-da!
