Ma Moore's Peanutbutter Frosting (NY) Recipe

submitted by reader Don Moore of Rochester, NY

Ingredients
5 tablespoons butter, softened
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
1/8 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup skim milk (other types of milk can substitute)

Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the butter by hand with the confectioners’ sugar and cocoa powder. Stir in the vanilla. Add the peanut butter, and mix until the texture resembles small beads. Add the milk slowly, beating with a mixer until very creamy. Add up to 3 additional tablespoons of milk if necessary to achieve the desired consistency.

Tips From Our Test Kitchen:
This icing is particularly good on brownies. It is so delicious that it would taste good straight out of the bowl.
