When you make a cake, or a batch of yummy cupcakes, you want to frost them with something delicious!

In our house, peanut butter has always been a favorite flavor. We often have it with chocolate. Yum!

Today I'm sharing with you a decadent, and easy to make frosting recipe. This uses the creamy style peanut butter.

My best tips for making this yummy peanut butter homemade frosting is to have the butter soft, more or less room temperature (depending on how warm the room is), but not too soft.

    I made this frosting for my husband's birthday cake and he loved it. Now he asks for it on other cakes and cupcakes.
