Top Secret Peanut Butter Frosting,Adapted from a Hershey’s recipe, this heavenly concoction starts on the stove-top and ends with countless rave reviews. It has made me famous amongst co-workers and friends! I usually pair it with a buttery Betty Crocker cake mix and then top it off with chocolate curls or drizzled chocolate syrup which has been cut through for a marbled effect. ,Best peanut butter frosting ever!!! I followed the recipe with only times as a tweet. I did not let the milk and flour boil. I cooked on low and stirred it constantly for about 10 min until it was thick. Let it sit on the counter to cool. Then mix in all the ingredients. I DO NOT FROST RIGHT AWAY! I put the frosting in the fridge for a few hours to thicken up. Then frost my sheet cake. Ive made this with a layer cake too and it comes out great but it needs to be kept in the fridge so it doesnt get runny.,Heating the milk and flour takes a long time, so everyone who said it didn’t boil – just be patient and it will. Boiling milk and flour does not look like boiling water – because of the thickness of the mixture, the bubbles will struggle to come up to the surface. The frosting does taste delicious but is not stable enough to make a layer cake or to pipe with. I figured this would be the case as with other ermine buttercreams I’ve made in the past but decided to give it a shot anyways. Slidey cake as expected. I ended up making a regular chocolate buttercream for piping decorations to try and distract from my leaning tower of cake… Moral of my story – this is a great recipe if you’re only using it for topping one layer of something that is in a sheet pan or similar. Not for free standing things.
