Peanut Butter Frosting

I made chocolate cupcakes with this peanut butter frosting recipe...and OH MY GOODNESS! I am sad to say that my diet suffered (big time) because I ate so many of the cupcakes! I don't really remember where I got this recipe from, it's one that I've had for awhile in my recipe box...I did google "peanut butter frosting" and it seems that this is a pretty general "base" recipe. In any case, it is GOOD!




Peanut Butter Frosting
Will frost about 36 cupcakes


1/2 Cup Softened Butter
1 Cup Peanut Butter
3 Tablespoons Milk
2 Cups Powder Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla


If you have a Kitchen Aid mixer, use it...the frosting will be much more "fluffier".

Cream together the Butter and Peanut Butter until mixed thoroughly. Add in the Milk, Vanilla and Powder Sugar. Mix on Medium once all of the ingredients are incorporated. (ie: don't turn the Kitchen Aid on high speed until the powder sugar is no longer powder...you will have a huge mess if you do!) Put frosting in a pastry bag and pipe onto cupcakes.
