Peanut Butter Frosting

This frosting is great on a chocolate cake. Tonight we were watching Peter Pan and needed a yummy treat to go along. So I whipped up a Bob's Red Mill chocolate cake mix and topped it with this easy frosting. I learned this frosting from my french teacher in high school. She added cocoa to it too, feel free to add a few tablespoons of Hershey's Cocoa to make it Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting.

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons milk, or as needed
1 1/2- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Using handmixer beat butter and peanut butter together until creamy. Add sugar, vanilla, and milk and beat for 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add more milk or sugar to achieve desired consistency.I usually double this recipe to frost an entire cake.
