Ingredients
- 1 cup Smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the smooth peanut butter and unsalted butter. Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
Step 2
Use a hand mixer or wooden spoon to blend the peanut butter and butter together until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition. This helps prevent lumps and ensures a fluffy texture.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, and mix until well incorporated.
Step 5
If the filling feels too soft to handle, refrigerate the mixture for 10-15 minutes to slightly firm it up for easier shaping or filling.
Step 6
Use the filling as needed for homemade peanut butter cups, candies, or other desserts. Store any leftover filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
