I could eat this with a spoon! Ok, ok, I DID eat it with a spoon. Then I ate some more on a chocolate cupcake, and dang it, where are some graham crackers when I need? I love the creamy mild peanut butter flavor, the tang of the salt and that it is not overpoweringly sweet.

How To Make sweet and salty peanut butter frosting

Step 1

Let the butter soften at room temperature for 2-3 hours.

Step 2

Put the butter, peanut butter, food coloring if using, and vanilla powder in a large bowl and cream with a mixer.
Step 3

Stop the mixer, add the powdered sugar and mix again. It will be clumpy and yucky, just keep mixing. After 30 seconds or so, it should come together.
Step 4

Add the milk, more or less, to get the desired consistency. Mix well and then sprinkle with salt and mix in.
