Peanut Butter Buttercream – smooth, creamy, and oh-so-peanut buttery buttercream frosting; perfect for frosting your favorite cupcakes.
Happy October! I seriously can’t believe its October already. Where did this year go?
October is quite the month for baking. You’ve got Breast Cancer Awareness Month; bring on the pink! You’ve got football season in full tackle; Football Food anyone? You’ve got Fall/Autumn Recipes; mmm…apple and pumpkin. And let’s not forget my favorite, spooktacular Halloween Treats!
Yes, I am excited for October baking! How about you? What are your favorite October goodies to bake?
So with that I say, Happy October! Now I am going to share a completely non-October recipe. 😉
This week’s recipe, Peanut Butter Buttercream, is actually a re-share. I originally shared this recipe with my Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Cupcakes, which were frosted with this delicious buttercream frosting. The cupcakes were a HUGE success and the Peanut Butter Buttercream was a big part of that success.
This Peanut Butter Buttercream is SO GOOD it deserves its own post. So here we are.
The Peanut Butter Buttercream is smooth, creamy, and oh-so-peanut buttery. If you LOVE peanut butter, you won’t be able to resist the deliciousness of the Peanut Butter Buttercream. It’s out of this world amazing!

Hi Sarah! I'm new to your blog..found you at the link party for FoodieFridays! I'm going crazy over this frosting! As soon as I saw the little photo link of your frosting as I was scrolling through...the first thing that came to mind was a pan of brownies. I just think this would be so delicious on brownies! Or cupcakes of any flavor. Or on my finger after it dipped into the bowl for the umpteenth time!! It's a pleasure to meet you...I've bookmarked this recipe... and I look forward to catching up with you! <3

Hi Prudy! Thank you! I agree, this would be a fabulous frosting on brownies. Is there really anything better than peanut butter and chocolate? That's actually how this recipe came about.
Thank you for stopping by! I look forward to checking out your food blog. Butter, Basil, and Breadcrumbs...sounds good to me.
P.S. Peanut Butter Buttercream is good eaten off a spoon too! 😉
