👨🍳 Directions:
1. Blend base: In a large bowl stir peanut butter and corn syrup until glossy and uniform.
2. Sweeten & thicken: Add powdered sugar, dry milk, and vanilla. Knead with a sturdy spatula, then hands lightly dusted with powdered sugar, until a smooth, pliable dough forms (2–3 min).
3. Color the dough: Divide into portions. Wearing food-safe gloves, knead 1–2 drops gel coloring into each piece until evenly tinted.
4. Create & sculpt: Shape dough into animals, beads, towers—anything imagination suggests. Press on chips or sprinkles for eyes and texture.
5. Serve or save: Enjoy designs immediately, or store creations in airtight containers at cool room temperature up to 3 days; dough stays soft and edible.
