Top Secret Peanut Butter Frosting

Harley Seashell Princess's Note:

Adapted from a Hershey's recipe, this heavenly concoction starts on the stove-top and ends with countless rave reviews. It has made me famous amongst co-workers and friends! I usually pair it with a buttery Betty Crocker cake mix and then top it off with chocolate curls or drizzled chocolate syrup which has been cut through for a marbled effect.

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 3 cups

• 1 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter
• ½ cup margarine , soft
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

1. Stir flour into milk.
2. Cook on low heat in a small saucepan until boiling, stirring constantly.
3. Transfer to a small bowl.
4. Cover with plastic wrap and let cool on the counter-top for 30 minutes.
5. Add the rest of the ingredients and beat with a hand-mixer until fluffy.
6. Store in the fridge.
7. *Variations* A softened 8-oz. block of Philadelphia Cream Cheese may be beaten in for a richer frosting. Hershey's Unsweetened Cocoa Powder can be added a tablespoonful at a time until desired flavor/color has been achieved. This produces a rich-tasting chocolate/peanut butter frosting.

GREAT RECIPE! I used this with the Best Wacky Cake #125923. Next time I think I will try some of your other variations. Thanks for a great recipe!

I decided to try this out today. Mine didn't come out fluffy, but it came out nice and smooth, and absolutely delicious!!

Oh my goodness! This is exactly the peanut butter frosting I've been looking for! Made it for
the frosting for a wacky cake (Wacky Cake) and if I had my way, I wouldn't have shared
at all. Makes enough for a 9" x 13" cake but I used it all on a 9" x9" inch cake. (no complaints from anyone) Light in texture, full of flavor~will be making this again...and again. Thank you!
