- 5 peeps
- 3 Tablespoons flour
- 1 Tablespoon Crisco (we use the blue box)
Edible peeps playdough
Microwave for 30 seconds; stir. (you can add food coloring for more bold colors, but we liked the soft pastel playdough colors the Peeps made)
Kids will LOVE watching the peeps grow and get all poofy as they expand in the microwave as they cook. After all -they are really just shaped marshmallows topped with colored sugar.

When the playdough is cool enough to touch (give it a good 30-60 seconds before you touch it) grab the marshmallow playdough and kneed the easy playdough recipe until you get a smooth dough. It will only take 30 seconds or so.

what measurement is TAB? Tablespoon?
yes 😉
Can I make this with coconut oil instead of the Crisco? I’m limited on ingredients with the lockdown…
I haven’t tried that way, but I think it would work.
Are you using Crisco oil or solid Crisco in a can?
Hi Beth! I love the peeps playdoh idea! Quick question, did you use all purpose or self rising flour?
all purpose =)
Can I use the bunny peeps or does it need to be the chicks?
Either will work =)
