Wow--I don't usually make my own frosting. But after being inspired by a peanut butter cup, I decided to make chocolate cupcakes with this frosting on top. I followed other reviewers suggestions and cut the sugar down to 2 cups or so, and I think it's the perfect peanut flavor with some sweetness. We have not eaten the total finished product yet, but of course I sampled the frosting as I was making it, and it is delicious. This couldn't have been more simple to make. This is really, really good.

I got great compliments on this frosting. A nice getaway from chocolate and vanilla. I used milk instead of cream and only 2 cups of sugar.

My husband is a peanut butter freak and he LOVES this frosting. Used cheapo peanut butter and margarine. Awesome! Doesn't work well as a decorator icing, but not a big deal. It's all about the flavor.

Insanely good! Fabulous as written, thanks! Oh, and we used cheepo store brand peanut butter and it was fabulous, so I am not so sure that you should run out and get name brand peanut butter for this one!

I made this recipe using the quantities that TRindell suggested, using only 2 cups sugar, and making sure the peanut butter and butter were at room temperature. It was very good and spread very easy. I will make this again.

I've been using Allrecipes for years and this is the first review I'm writing! I've used this recipe many times and it always turns out awesome. But of course today, on my husband's b-day, the frosting "flopped". It was greasy & un-spreadable and I couldn't figure out what went wrong. I had enough ingredients to start over and the only thing I can figure is that on the first batch (the one that went wrong) I was at the bottom of the peanut-butter jar. I think that the peanut-butter settles and when I started over using a fresh jar it worked perfect. I have 3 children so we go through peanutbutter quickly so I know it wasn't old, I just think it was greasier because it was toward the end. So...if you haven't stirred your PB everytime you open the jar, make sure you are starting with a fresh one! Like other reviewers, I cut the sugar and one other tip, I like to stick the butter & PB in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds just until the butter starts to melt and it comes out super creamy and takes away any of that "gritiness" you sometimes get with PB.

After a friend made chocolate and pb frosting cupcakes, I had to search for the recipe for the icing... This one worked awesome, however I followed someone else's suggestion and only used 2c of powdered sugar. I also added a few drops of vanilla. This was JUST LIKE Reece's cups filling. I couldn't stop eating it with a spoon. There was plenty for 24 cupcakes... I also cut mini reese's cups in half and put each half on top of the cupcake... Mmmmm!

Really good. I used it to ice the chocolate cake I made. I reduced the sugar to 2 cups. Anymore would have been too sweet.

I only used 2 cups of sugar, but otherwise followed the recipe. This turned out really delicious and peanut buttery. We made chocolate cupcakes with this frosting on top and they tasted like peanut butter cups. Nummy.

YUM. First time making peanut butter frosting, and I will definitely use this recipe again. I used it to frost chocolate cake mix cookies when I wanted something fast and didn't have enough flour to make cookies from scratch. Can't wait to try this on cupcakes!

This is awesome!! I made 1/2 a batch, added chopped Reese's PB Cups and used it for the filling in a double layer brownie cake. I used natural peanut butter and milk and it turned out great! Definitely saving this recipe!! :)

This frosting is like P.B. Fudge! It is a little hard to spread on a cake so I used a cake decorating bag and stared my cake. Great Recipe!

Really really good. Don't change the proportions. The consistency was strange for spreading (it didn't spread as well as I'd like)but it was delicious! Used for an ice cream cake.

I made a peanut butter cake from scratch and used this frosting. I only used 3 cups of powdered sugar and a tablespoon more of PB, as it had more of a sugar-y taste without the extra TBSP. Tasted like PB fudge!
