I use Recipe #95416 when I'm decorating a cake but we like this version on brownies, cookies or undecorated cakes. I cut the recipe in half for brownies. Goes really well on Recipe #2496. Freezes well also. (If you have leftovers, put it between graham cracker for a delicious snack or dessert. My kids love it that way!)

Great icing recipe! I made this for Valentine cupcakes for my husband's office, and they raved about the icing. I made it both with all butter (based on reviews I read) and as it is written. I needed a second batch and didn't have enough butter and had to use 1/2 shortening that time. Both were good, but the all-butter …

PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING RECIPE | ALLRECIPES

Ok, with modifications this is 5 stars but the original recipe is probably only worth 3! So 4 for a compromise. IF you use 2 cups confectioner's sugar and 1 1/2 cups peanut butter, you'll get a very peanut butter flavored icing; 2 cups sugar with 1 cup pb would make a milder one, though I like my peanut butter!
