When making this icing, I revised the recipe for more of a butter-cream consistency:Blend into the peanut butter and softened butter- 2 Tablespoons(TBS) vegetable shortening and 1 tsp vanilla, mix until creamy consistency. I added 1 more TBS of butter to make it more creamier. Continue to add milk 1 TBS and 1 cup of powdered sugar at a time. You will end up using only 2 TBS milk and 2 cups of powdered sugar. By the way, no need to sift the sugar. My family and friends devoured my cake and loved the chocolate-peanut butter combination. This should fix any issues with spreading the icing.

This recipe was very good. I was afraid that it would be too "peanut buttery," but it was just the right amount. The only this I would like to change is a little bit less sugar. It was a little bit too sweet for my taste.

Just made this for my fiances' birthday cake. I tried it during the creation and thought it was DELICIOUS. For two 8" round cakes I used made 8 servings worth of the icing and I had a small amount leftover for cake pops so that was perfect! I also mixed the milk and confectioners sugar together first, then the butter, and then the peanut butter and it was really fluffy! I think this would be awesome on brownies!

I thought this frosting was absolutely wonderful!! The taste is very peanut buttery and not too sweet. The birthday girl thoroughly enjoyed this on a chocolate cupcake. Will keep this recipe forever!

I am not saying this isn't a good recipe , I just cant get it to work for me at all, Despite 3 attempts with different kinds of butter, (melted, room temp , and cold.) It was Just to greasy and would not incorporate and stayed crumbly,,,, so I omitted the butter and replaced it with an 8 oz pack of cream cheese, and IT WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!!, although you can taste a hint of cream cheese, its not bad at all,,kinda taste like a "Bit O Honey" candy,
