Bakery Style Peanut Butter Buttercream

Honestly, is there any better flavor combination than peanut butter and chocolate? I created this rich, smooth, creamy peanut butter buttercream to make a Reese’s cake for my husband a few years back, and it has become one of my most asked for icing flavors. It makes the literal perfect coating to a moist chocolate cake, or mix it up and do a peanut butter and jelly flavor! The recipe comes together in minutes and makes you look like a pro baker, even if you aren’t!

The first thing you will do is add your softened butter (I use half salted, half unsalted) and peanut butter to your Stand mixer, fitted with a whisk attachment. 

Butter and peanut butter in a mixer bowl

Turn the mixer on, medium-high, and whip it until creamy and fully incorporated. Add the salt and vanilla and mix those in, too!

Cream butter and peanut butter together
Alternate adding a cup of powdered sugar and a tbsp of whipping cream at a time, mixer on medium-low, and scraping the sides as needed. Start with the powdered sugar and end with cream. Once you have added all of your ingredients, scrape the sides of your bowl. Turn the mixer on high and whip it until light and fluffy!

If that doesn’t look like a little kiss from heaven, right in your mixing bowl, I don’t know what does! Now go ahead and fight the urge to sit there and eat it straight with a spoon.

It glides right onto a cake for the smoothest of finishes. You could also pipe it onto cupcakes or brownies, too! So. Good!

I personally like to add Reese’s cups and Reese’s Pieces with mine. And that milk chocolate ganache, too!

We said “see you later” to some very sweet fri We said “see you later” to some very sweet friends tonight. We have been blessed to do life with Andrew & Morgan for the last 5 or so years-Andrew even longer. Morgan was even in the delivery room for my rainbow 🌈 baby’s birth (as a student nurse). 🥹 I’m so proud of them for boldly stepping out in faith to do what God has put on their lives. We may be apart in body, but we will be together in spirit. Love you, Browder fam! 🤍

Just realized I never posted this baby girl’s 4t Just realized I never posted this baby girl’s 4th birthday pics. She is such a joy and this was the most special day. I always want to remember her sweet face as she was sung to, her excitement over her first big girl “coffee” and her first mani-pedi. My baby girl is growing up and it is so bittersweet! 🤍
Clean swaps! 🧼 👇🏻 One little cloth [left] Clean swaps! 🧼 👇🏻
One little cloth [left] replaces all of those chemicals on the right! Just add water 💦 and go 🤯
Space and weight are so important when you #fulltimerv . Making swaps like these make sense for that reason alone. But as a mom, knowing I am reducing body burden not only in myself but my family means so much more.
