Instructions
- Begin by beating the peanut butter and butter together in a stand mixer or large bowl.

Notes
- Your goal is not to whip the frosting as adding too much air can make it more difficult to spread (creating air pockets).
- If you need to adjust the consistency, this can be easily done by adding more powdered sugar or adding a splash of milk. Adding powdered sugar will thicken the frosting and adding milk will thin it. Any additions should be done a small amount at a time and checking the consistency to avoid over adding excess ingredients.
