A very good peanut butter icing. A little sweet though I wonder if skim milk powder or cream cheese could be substitued and work well and tone down the sweetness. I was short 1/2 cup icing sugar and still had to use 6 tbsp of cream to get it to spreadable consistency. I could've used more. Also, if it was whipped for a while I'm sure it would have a fluffier texture. So many ideas from one great recipe. I used it on banana cake. -
LOVED this! I made peanut butter icing before but was looking for an alternate for the butter/margarine. This was great. I added an extra tablespoon and a half because I used organic peanut butter and it tends to be a little on the less oily side than most. Also instead of using light cream I used skim milk and probably doubled the amount noted. It might not have been as fluffy without the cream but it was very cream and smooth and easy to use. Got rave reviews from my husband. Great recipe- Thanks will make again. -
Wow! This is RICH! The fact that there is not margarine or butter makes it 100x better! I added a few tablespoons of cocoa powder and frosted recipe #184540 instead of using the chocolate chip topping. A little of this goes a long way. This is to-die-for, thank you so much!

I am Married to the same guy for 40 years,I Have 2 beautiful Daughters, who have given me 6
grand and glorious grandchildren.
I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby
My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby.
My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands.
He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
