Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting This Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting is rich and indulgent, but it’s also light and creamy at the same time. It pipes and spreads like a dream, and it tastes ridiculously good. Pair it with my favorite Doctored Up Cake Mix recipe for a truly epic chocolate cake! Things to Love about this Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting ➀ It’s texture. I’m not kidding when I say it’s a dream to spread and pipe. If you’re spreading it on a layer cake, it will go on smoothly without pulling up bits of the cake in the process. And if you’re piping it on top of cupcakes, it will hold those beautiful lines perfectly– but you won’t choke on a dense frosting when you take a bite. ➁ This is chocolate and peanut butter, but not in an in-your-face kind of way. The peanut butter isn’t subtle, per se. But you won’t be dying for a glass of milk after one taste if you know what I mean. It’s so light and fluffy that the peanut butter chocolate combo doesn’t overwhelm your tastebuds. Instead, you’ll find that it’s a perfect balance of both flavors and will keep you coming back for more! ➂ Simple ingredients. Nothing crazy here– butter, peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and that’s pretty much it! What Tastes Best with Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting?
