Cup of Yum
For the frosting:
- In a medium bowl, mix together peanut butter, Greek yogurt, and your sweetener of choice until you achieve your desired sweetness and frosting thickness. Add more peanut butter to make frosting thicker, or more Greek yogurt to make it runnier.
- Allow cupcake to cool fully in the pan before frosting to prevent melting. When ready, frost cupcake and garnish with extra chocolate chips.
