How to Make Peanut Butter Cupcake Frosting

Peanut butter cupcake frosting can be delicious on top of nearly any type of cupcake. It freezes well, so store batches in your freezer, and you're all set the next time you're in the mood to make cupcakes.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 4 tbsp. milk
• 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
• Bittersweet chocolate
• Medium mixing bowl
• Wooden spoon
• Small microwaveable bowl
• Hand mixer (optional)

1. Place the peanut butter in a medium mixing bowl. Stir in room temperature peanut butter and the milk until the ingredients are thoroughly blended.

2. Shave a bit of bittersweet chocolate into a microwavable bowl, and heat it in the microwave just long enough to melt.

3. Pour the melted chocolate into the frosting mix. Don't use too much chocolate, or it will overpower the flavor of the peanut butter.

4. Continue stirring until the mixture is blended and all lumps are removed. Use a handheld mixer if you prefer.

Tips & Warnings

• Although the recipe calls for bittersweet chocolate, you can use any type of chocolate you prefer.
• Spray the measuring cup lightly with nonsticking cooking spray before you measure the peanut butter. The peanut butter will be much easier to remove from the cup.
• Be sure the peanut butter is at room temperature. If it's colder, it will be difficult to mix, but if it's warmer, the consistency will be too liquid.
