This is so good and it is often requested in our home for birthdays and such but for some reason, I’ve just never posted the recipe but here it is now…

Peanut Butter Icing

 Ingredients:

• 1 c. butter or margarine, softened (you can also use butter-flavored Crisco)
• 1 c. peanut butter
• 2 t. vanilla extract
• 3-4 c confectioners’ sugar, sifted
• 1/4 c. milk, a little more or less to get the desired consistency
• 2 -3 T light corn syrup, optional

Directions:

Cream the butters in a mixer until smooth and fluffy. Gradually beat in confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Add vanilla extract.

Add milk, a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency, and beat for an additional 3-4 minutes.

For fluffier icing add a little corn syrup at a time, beating well after each addition.

Use this with any flavor cake but my kids love a chocolate cake with PB icing and some mini peanut butter cups or candies sprinkled on top.
