Peanut Butter Frosting

When I posted last week with the Peanut Butter Nutella Cookies, I told you all about the great dipping sauce/frosting that I used.  What really happened is that I had leftover frosting from the cupcakes below and decided to use it with the peanut butter cookies.  It was genius!  (if I do say so myself)

With the cupcakes, I am all about semi-homemade.  I used a boxed cake mix, added chocolate chips, and then made the peanut butter frosting from scratch.

The frosting recipe is from an amazing woman I used to work with.  She would make a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting for everyone's last day (we had one colleague who faked several last days to get more cakes-lol).

Here's the best peanut frosting I have ever had:

Peanut Butter Frosting


Ingredients
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 lb. 10x sugar (powdered sugar)
7-8 tbs milk
1 tsp vanilla

Directions
Blend sugar and peanut butter.  Alternatively, add sugar and milk.  Add vanilla and beat until smooth.
