Peanut Butter Frosting Recipe:

If you use the icing like a “normal” person, you can frost 24 cupcakes, but if you put frosting on cupcakes like I do well, you will need to double the recipe. If for some strange reason you have some left over I am 100% sure you will have some little volunteers to help you finish it off.

Simple Peanut Butter Frosting Recipe by www.thebearfootbaker.comWhen I made these cupcakes for this post I delivered them to a few of the camp staff. They ate them faster than the speed of light. As a matter of fact, before they left on Friday afternoon, I made another batch to send home with some of them who are, believe it or not, in a barbershop quartet. They were watching some kind of barbershop quartet competition and wanted to share the cupcakes with the other members of the group. So what is a girl to do? Make another batch of cupcakes of course!You'll Love this Simple One Bowl Peanut Butter Frosting and So Will Your Family www.thebearfootbaker.comWell there you have it. My secret way to make cupcakes from a box mix and cover them with this simple peanut butter frosting to make everyone think I spend hours in the kitchen.
