TOP SECRET PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING



Top Secret Peanut Butter Frosting image

Adapted from a Hershey's recipe, this heavenly concoction starts on the stove-top and ends with countless rave reviews. It has made me famous amongst co-workers and friends! I usually pair it with a buttery Betty Crocker cake mix and then top it off with chocolate curls or drizzled chocolate syrup which has been cut through for a marbled effect.

PEANUT BUTTER ICING / FROSTING FOR COOKIES



Peanut Butter Icing / Frosting for Cookies image

Thick frosting that dries sort of shiny - perfect for cookies that need to be stacked and taken somewhere. I like the recipes I've seen for plain icing that dries, and played with it to make a peanut butter version since my father in law is always asking for peanut butter cookies. Prep time doesn't include frosting the cookies, which will vary depending on how detailed you get. I iced 32 (2-3") cookies.

Provided by Random Rachel

Categories     Dessert

Time 5m

Yield 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1 -2 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon imitation vanilla
food coloring, as desired

Steps:

  • Measure everything into mixing bowl. You want a thick pasty frosting, so start with just a little milk, and add enough to get a spreadable consistency. Beat well with a fork. Add additional corn syrup or milk if needed.
  • You can separate the icing into bowls and add different colors if desired.
  • Spread on cookies with butter knife. Allow to dry for about an hour, longer if you used a heavy layer.

PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING



Peanut Butter Frosting image

If you like peanut butter you'll love this frosting, great on chocolate cakes but for a real peanut butter experience try it on a peanut butter cake. If you don't have cream, you may substitute milk.

Provided by Suzanne Stull

Categories     Desserts     Frostings and Icings

Time 15m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 4

½ cup butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
4 cups confectioners' sugar
⅓ cup cream

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, beat butter and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Slowly beat in 1/2 of the confectioner's sugar. Mix in 1/4 cup of the cream. Beat in the remaining confectioners' sugar. If necessary, add a little more cream or milk until the frosting reaches a good spreading consistency. Makes enough to frost one 2 layer 9 inch cake or one 9x13 inch cake.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 279.5 calories, Carbohydrate 33.2 g, Cholesterol 22 mg, Fat 15.7 g, Fiber 1 g, Protein 4.2 g, SaturatedFat 6.5 g, Sodium 117.1 mg, Sugar 30.9 g

Tips:

  • Choose the right peanuts: For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality peanuts. Avoid peanuts that are old or have a rancid smell.
  • Roast the peanuts: Roasting the peanuts brings out their natural oils and flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on the stovetop.
  • Cool the peanuts completely: Before making the frosting, let the peanuts cool completely to room temperature.
  • Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender is the best way to get a smooth and creamy frosting. If you don't have either of these appliances, you can use a mortar and pestle, but it will take longer.
  • Add milk or cream: If you find that the frosting is too thick, you can add a little milk or cream to thin it out.
  • Store the frosting properly: Cooked peanut butter frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Cooked peanut butter frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like it sweet, salty, or somewhere in between, there is a cooked peanut butter frosting recipe out there for you.
