Creamy Peanut Butter Base:
- In a medium-sized bowl, using an electric mixer cranked up to high speed, blend together the creamy peanut butter 🥜, butter 🧈, and a pinch of salt until the mixture becomes wonderfully light and smooth.

Splash of Vanilla:
- Next, blend in the tantalizing aroma of vanilla extract 🌿. Add 3 tablespoons of milk 🥛 into the mix and blend until all ingredients are delightfully incorporated.
-
Gradual Sweetening:
- Gradually introduce the powdered sugar 🍰 into the bowl, sifting it in bit by bit while keeping the mixer running smoothly. This will create a lusciously sweet base for your frosting.
-
Intense Chocolate Kick:
- Now, it’s time to add that intense chocolatey flavor! 🍫 Sift in the cocoa powder into the bowl, ensuring it merges seamlessly with the rest of the ingredients.

Tips & Tricks:
- Room Temperature Ingredients: For a smoother blending process, ensure your butter and creamy peanut butter are at room temperature.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Adjust the amount of powdered sugar to suit your taste buds. Want it sweeter? Add a bit more sweetness. Prefer it less sweet? Dial it back a bit.
- Play with Consistency: If you prefer a thicker frosting, add less milk. For a lighter, fluffier texture, incorporate a touch more milk into the mix.
