Frosting Directions:

In a electric mixer add in your butter and vegetable shortening and mix together on Medium speed (I did 4) for about 2 minutes.

Once the ingredients are mixed together add in peanut butter, 1 cup at a time. Let mix together on medium speed.

Add in your vanilla extract and confection sugar, 1 cup at a time. Let mix well.

Frosting will appear dry so start adding in your milk, 1 Tbsp at a time. Continue to mix well.

Once all ingredients are mixed, place a damp paper towel over mixing bowl until you are ready to use the frosting.

Scoop the frosting and place into your piping bag with desired tip, I used the closed star tip to create my frosting.
