Course Dessert
Prep Time 9 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter At room temperature
  • cup Smooth Peanut Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • cups Powdered (Confectioners) Sugar

Instructions

  • In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, beat butter until smooth and light in colour about 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • With the mixer on low speed, add in peanut butter and vanilla and mix until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. 
  • Next add in the powered sugar one cup at a time with the mixer on low.
  •  Increase the speed of the mixer to medium for 1 more minute until buttercream is light and fluffy. Don't over mix, because the frosting will become too soft and difficult to pipe. 
  • Pipe onto cupcake and garnish with salted peanuts and drizzle slightly melted honey over top. Enjoy!
