How to Make Peanut Butter Frosting

Step 1: Beat the Butter & Peanut Butter

Step 2: Add Powdered Sugar

2️⃣ Mix on low speed to prevent sugar from flying everywhere, then increase to medium until combined.

2️⃣ If the frosting is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of heavy cream or milk at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
