Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Frosting

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Frosting is a wonderful combination of chocolate, peanut butter, and Reese’s cups. Frosting just doesn’t get better than that. This Reese’s Frosting is made up of a buttercream base that is fantastic with brownies, cookies, cake, or even great for dipping graham crackers.

My personal favorite way to eat this Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Frosting though is probably with a spoon. That’s all I need, but I try to temper my frosting intake with a brownie. You know, health goals.

I have been intending to create a chocolate and peanut butter frosting made with Reese’s peanut butter cups and I finally gone, done, and did it.

Bam.

It was positively wonderful. I actually made it to go on top of a banana cake. I thought it would be great- chocolate, peanut butter, and Reese’s with the banana flavor of the cake, because I think that combo is fantastic. As predicted, the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Frosting rocked, and was fabulous with the banana flavor, but the cake was too cake-y and a bit dry. I’m really not into cake-y cake. I prefer a super moist and dense one! 

The banana cake was such a disappointment. I even went so far as to scrape the Reese’s Frosting off of a piece of the banana cake and place it on top of a week old brownie I had made the previous weekend. Fortunately, I have a rockin’ brownie recipe, so it wasn’t too bad even if it was a week old! I’m convinced anything sweet with this frosting will do the trick. That’s how much I love it.

  3. 1 teaspoon vanilla
  4. 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  5. 3 cups powdered sugar
  6. *1/4 cup cream or milk (may need more or less for consistency)
  7. 10 Reese's peanut butter cups, chopped
Instructions
  1. Place the butter and peanut butter in a mixer. Beat until well combined. Add the vanilla and mix. Add the cocoa powder and mix until well combined. Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well between each addition. Add the cream or milk, until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency.

  2. Fold in the chopped Reese's. Spread over cooled brownies, cookies, cake, or dip graham crackers. Enjoy!
Notes
  1. *I prefer to use cream, because it gives a richer flavor, but milk works just fine! Sometimes I use both, depending how much liquid the frosting needs.
