I wish I could give more than 5 stars! It was fabulous! I found that it tasted like the inside of a buckeye! I halved the recipe and was able to frost a 13x9 inch chocolate sheet cake! I do think the texture was a little off, so next time I'll add a touch more milk, but other than that I have no complaints! A very wonderful frosting, and something I will definitely make again! One of my favorite frostings! Thanks SO much!

My son LOVES PB&J, so I experimented with making PB&J cupcakes for his birthday. I used a white cake mix, squirt jelly in the middle, and frosted with this PB frosting. It worked pretty well. If I were to use this recipe again I would put less powdered sugar and/or more PB. It was just a little too sweet for these cupcakes.

This recipe is absolutely delicious! I put this on a chocolate cake and it's the perfect pairing. However, it was a little heavy. To help this I whipped the frosting once finished on high for about 2-3 minute is my stand mixer. This not only made more frosting so that I could easily frost a two-layered cake, but aerated the frosting making it lighter and much fluffier.

This is perfect the way it is for 2 layer cakes. When I made it for brownies and cupcakes I increased the peanut butter by 1/4 of a cup and reduce the powdered sugar by one cup to cut the sweetness I bit since the ratio of icing to take Etc is higher. It was a big hit with the adults as well as the kids. Also sprinkled M&Ms or Reese's Pieces on them for Easter treats

My pet peeve???? hmmmm that would have to be rude or inconsiderate people. Another pet peeve is people who "tell it like it is".
