Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Smooth peanut butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the smooth peanut butter and unsalted butter. Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
Use a hand mixer or wooden spoon to blend the peanut butter and butter together until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, blending thoroughly after each addition. This helps prevent lumps and ensures a fluffy texture.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, and mix until well incorporated.
If the filling feels too soft to handle, refrigerate the mixture for 10-15 minutes to slightly firm it up for easier shaping or filling.
Use the filling as needed for homemade peanut butter cups, candies, or other desserts. Store any leftover filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
