Creamy, Salty, Not Too Sweet

Published about 5 hours ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

They say eggs are nature’s perfect food, but can I just put in a plug for peanut butter? 🙂
Today’s recipe is all about that creamy, salty, not-too-sweet magic…

​Peanut Butter Buttercream Frosting​

How to use your new favorite frosting

  1. Turn a classic chocolate cake, into a peanut butter layer cake ~ you get that classic Reese’s inspired flavor combo. You can do cupcakes, sheet cake, or a layer cake. You can use it as a filling for this Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake.
  2. Fill fudgy brownie cookie sandwiches
  3. Frost soft sugar cookies or an epic cookie pie​
  4. Ice a pan of brownies​
  5. Grab a spoon and dig in
