Hi cheezz- I've used this one from Epi several times and it's very good. Mostly p'nut butter.

Frosting
1 cup creamy peanut butter (do not use old-fashioned or freshly ground)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 
Thanks ladies!! Both look terrific... now to go make the fudge cake to put it on smileys/smile.gif

 
Hello ladies -- made the frosting and it was FABULOUS!!

I made the one from Epi that Cyn posted, since I had all the ingredients and didn't have to make a trip to the market. It was VERY thick for spreading, so I added about 1 tbl. milk to it -- wow! It is so good, I could have eaten it all with a spoon!

Dianne - I make a spread/dip similar to your frosting. It is made with 1/2 cp. peanut butter, 1/2 cp. cream cheese, 2 tbl. honey, and 2 tbl. snipped dried fruit of your choice -- you could eat this stuff with a spoon also. I make toast and spread it on that, or use it as a dip for cut-up fruit. I can see the taste would be similar to your frosting, but heavier.
