As soon as I decided to make the vanilla cupcakes mentioned here, I knew I wanted to make a chocolate version, but not with chocolate frosting. I'm a big fan of chocolate and peanut butter, so decided to create a small-batch peanut butter frosting.
2 tsp peanut butter
1/2 Tbsp shortening
1/4 C powdered sugar
1/2 Tbsp milk
In a small bowl, cream the peanut butter, shortening and powdered sugar until well combined. Gradually beat in enough milk to achieve spreading consistency.
Robyn's notes: the peanut butter flavour in this frosting is light, not overwhelming. I had exactly enough frosting for two of my chocolate cupcakes.
*** 3 Stars: Good. At least one of us liked this enough for me to make it again, but not often

This is great! I doubled the peanut butter and added a splash of vanilla for a richer frosting, and it was just enough to thinly coat an 8x8 pan of my favorite brownies. Thanks!
Oh good! Always glad when someone can build off a recipe to make something just right for them! Thanks for letting me know :)
