Directions
To make the frosting, add butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted the whisk attachment. Beat until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the peanut butter and vanilla, beat, scraping down the sides as needed, another minute or until there are no streaks.
