Peanut Butter Frosting
Print ME!
oh so gooooooood. I put this on plain old chocolate cupcakes. Then I put it on vanilla cupcakes. I think tomorrow I am going to put it on anything I eat.
- 1 8 oz. pkg of cream cheese (room temp)
- 1 stick of butter (room temp)
- 4 c. powdered sugar
- 3/4 c. jif peanut butter
Mix the cream cheese and butter together, add the sugar a cup at a time (you may want to use more, I actually really like how unsweet this frosting is) Beat until fluffy, about two minutes. Add peanut butter and blend until smooth.
I made half a batch of this with crunchy peanut butter and half with smooth. Both were fantastic. The crunchy was much harder to pipe obviously.
I frosted 31 cupcakes generously with one batch of this.

I have had about 7 of these cupcakes in the past two days and I cannot stop thinking about them. I will be making these for my father’s 80th birthday coming up. They are a peanut butter/chocolate lovers DREAM. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

P.S. Which chocolate cupcakes recipe did you use? I loved it.

I ate these cupcakes with the said frosting. I think I said something that came out insulting like: “Wow, these are actually good.”
This is not because I do not respect the cook or her cookery. It is because I like to eat seals, sea lions, tuna and what not…I don’t usually like sweets. But I liked these. WUT?

OTR-That batch was the actual cake recipe from the recipe in the link. Super easy one bowl recipe.
Sharky–I think you should make a shark friendly meatloaf for the upcoming festivities. Sea lion loaf? Oh yeah.
