Amazing peanutbutter buttercream

 
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter , don't use old-fashioned or natural brand
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 pinch table salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoon milk

Directions:

  1. In standing mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat butter and peanut butter at medium-high speed until smooth, about 20 seconds. Add confectioners' sugar and salt; beat at medium-low speed until most of the sugar is moistened, about 45 seconds. Scrape down bowl and beat at medium speed until mixture is fully combined, about 15 seconds; scrape bowl, add vanilla and heavy cream, and beat at medium speed until incorporated, about 10 seconds, then increase speed to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes, scraping down bowl once or twice.
     
    For the cupcake in this picture I used Pillsbury devils food. I chopped mini peanut butter candies and added them to the batter. I topped the cupcakes with one as well....so good you have to try. This frosting is not too sweet. Its seriously amazing.
