Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until completely liquid.
Step 2
Add the milk and brown sugar to the saucepan, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter until smooth and well combined. Let the mixture cool to room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent lumps or uneven textures.
Step 4
Once the mixture has cooled, transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
Step 5
Gradually beat in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, using a hand mixer or stand mixer on low speed. Continue mixing until smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Add the vanilla extract and beat on medium speed until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Step 7
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using, if needed.
