Looking for the perfect frosting for a chocolate cupcake? Try this Unbelievable Peanut Butter Frosting Recipe! It’s amazing!

My kids are my reason for just about everything, including this blog. I would have never even begun sharing things or created AFewShortcuts.com without them. They are my world! SO, when my world asked me if I could make Peanut Butter Frosting for some birthday cupcakes I knew I had to give it my best!

Long ago and far way, I had made this frosting before. I had forgotten how rich and decadent it was. It tastes just like peanut butter fudge…in a good way. That being said, a little can go a long way, but it is oh so good!

I made a batch of cupcakes using this perfect homemade cake mix! This frosting is good on any kind of cake, but we are a chocolate cake family! Chocolate cake with this peanut butter frosting is UNBELIEVABLE!
