Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Milk, plus more as needed
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and creamy peanut butter using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, 1 cup at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition to prevent a mess. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 3
Once all the powdered sugar and cocoa powder are incorporated, add 2 tablespoons of milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat for 2-3 minutes, until the frosting is fluffy and easy to spread.
Step 4
If the frosting seems too thick, add milk 1 teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached. If it’s too thin, add more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Step 5
Use the frosting immediately to top cooled cupcakes, spreading or piping it as desired. For added decoration, consider sprinkling chopped peanuts or chocolate shavings on top.
