Peanutbutter Buttercream


I made these "Peanut butter Whoopie Pies" (dumb name, I know) for a dessert open house. The peanut butter butter cream inside was to die for delicious and super easy...the cake-like chocolate cookie was good, but not to die for so I will just be sharing the buttercream recipe...unless one really wants the cookie recipe. This came from a Martha Stewart magazine a few years ago. I have been holing onto this recipe meaning to make it forever.

Ingredients
2/3 creamy peanut butter
8 TBSP butter
3/4 cup powdered sugar (+ up to 1/4 cup more)

Instructions
Cream the peanut butter and butter in electric mixer with paddle attachment on high speed. Switch to low and slowly mix in the 3/4 cup sugar until combined. Then beat on high speed until fluffy and smooth, about 3 minutes. (At this point I added a little more powdered sugar. It was still a little thinner than I wanted, I am sure due to the heat around here.)
