PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING:
In large bowl, beat 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter with mixer, until smooth. Add 3 cups sifted confectioners sugar, a little at a time, until combined. Beat in 1/2 cup milk and 2 tsp vanilla. Then, beat in 3 to 3 1/2 more cups sifted powdered sugar until very well combined. An additional 1 tsp of milk can be added at a time, till its a nice spreading consistency. Makes about 3 cups frosting.
This produces a less smooth, and little more grainy texture, due to using real peanut butter but, the taste is incomperable.
