This is my new "go to" recipe for frosting snack cakes, brownies and cupcakes, it is quick, easy to make and tastes great!!
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter (I used Jiff)
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 - 3/4 cup half and half (see note)
2 2/3 cup confectioners sugar
Mix the peanut butter, cocoa powder, vanilla and a few tablespoons of the half and half until it is smooth and creamy. Add the sugar, salt and the rest of the half and half (*see note below). Beat with electric mixer until smooth and shiny.
That's it... what could be easier?!? We LOVED this frosting!!
NOTE: The recipe said to start with half cup of the half and half and if you want it thinner, add the remaining 1/4 cup of half and half (one tablespoon at time)...beating until smooth.
