TOP SECRET PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING
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
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.

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
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.

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.
