2521.0. "Peanut butter Frosting? - Not from a can" by SMAUG::RLAMONT () Wed Jul 18 1990 11:41

    Does anyone have a recipe for Peanut Butter Frosting.  I understand
    that on a chocoloate cake it makes it taste just like the Drakes
    product - Funny Bones, which I'm partial to!
    
    I don't know if it's just peanut butter mixed with something else or
    if it is more involved.  I wouldn't think regular p-nut butter would
    spread well.

2521.1Until you get it right!!JAIMES::WHITCOMBWed Jul 18 1990 12:076
    I don't have a recipe, but I would think this would be fairly easy to
    make... Combine peanut butter with confectioner's (powdered) sugar, a
    tsp of vanilla and a few drops of water, until the consistency is
    right.
    
    Sound okay??
2521.2p-nut butter frostingFORTSC::WILDEAsk yourself..am I a happy cow?Wed Jul 18 1990 14:068
Mix 1 cup p-nut butter w 1 stick softened butter.  Stir in confectioners
sugar (powdered sugar) to desired spreading consistency.  If it gets
to stiff, stir in a few DROPS of milk or water to desired consistency.
Frost cake.  Keep cake chilled, move to room temp 20 minutes prior to serving.

Left over frosting can be stiffened up with more powdered sugar, formed
into small balls, rolled in finely chopped nuts or powdered sugar and
they make nice sweet tidbits for after dinner with coffee..

    Mix PB (either chunky or creamy) with vanilla frosting. You'll be able
    to see the consistancy and decide how much PB to add.
    
    I make this for my Mom every year for her birthday!

2521.4peanut butter sauceCOLBIN::WHITMANAcid Rain Burns my BassFri Dec 21 1990 14:2911
	We recently moved from Ma. to the San Francisco area.  My wife is
very partial to the Reese's Pieces Sundae offered by the Friendly Ice Cream
Store.  Out here there are no Friendly Ice Cream parlors.  What I'm looking
for is suggestions on how to make the peanut butter sauce.

	I've tried mixing creamy peanut butter with corn syrup until I got the
consistency I was looking for, but the strong peanut butter flavor was lost. 
It just wasn't the same.  Is there a peanut butter extract or something I could
add to enhance the flavor?  Any other suggestions???

2521.5just heat the pbAKOCOA::SCHOFIELDThu Dec 27 1990 11:136
    Why don't you just heat the Peanut Butter until its pourable? I
    wouldn't imagine you'd have to heat it long. Maybe nuke it for a
    minute, stir, and nuke again. Then pour it over the ice cream, drop
    some Reese Pieces on top and away you go!

2521.6Try these places!NETMAN::BASTIONFix the mistake, not the blameMon Jan 28 1991 14:2811
    If you're in the Piedmont area, there's a *wonderful* ice cream parlor
    that may have what you're looking for.  I can't for the life of me
    remember the name.  It's a family run operation and well known in the
    area. (Piedmont is between Oakland and Berkeley.)
    
    If you're in S.F., the Toy Boat Cafe on 5th and Clement used to serve
    wonderful ice cream.  Don't know if they're still in business though.
    
    Enjoy,
