Homemade Peanut Butter Icing

Truth be told, I'm not a peanut butter lover...

unless it's nestled inside a layer of milk chocolate.

But others in my home, who shall remain 

anonymous, eat the stuff right from the jar!!

We are a JIF creamy, of course, family! Born & bred...

meaning my hubby & kids can differentiate

between JIF and ANY other brand of peanut butter!

So for this recipe, you guessed it, I use JIF!

Peanut Butter Icing

3 to 4 cups powdered sugar*

½ cup butter

1 tsp vanilla 

½ cup creamy peanut butter*

⅛ to ¼ cup milk*

Cream together powdered sugar and butter.

Add vanilla, mix.

Add peanut butter, mix.

Slowly drizzle in milk until icing reaches a

spreadable consistency.

*At this point, it's all about taste preference.

If you need it sweeter, add more powdered sugar.

If you need a stronger peanut butter taste,

add a little more peanut butter.

Play around with the recipe a bit & make it your own!

In reference to my opening statement, 

when making this icing, of course I always

think it's too peanut buttery. Fortunately

I never have a shortage of taste testers in

my kitchen willing to set me straight! 

This icing compliments this chocolate cake perfectly!

Enjoy!
