Peanut butter Icing:

Combine butter, peanut butter and milk in a sauce pan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat.

Stir in powdered sugar (I sift mine) and vanilla until icing is spreading consistency. Spread peanut butter Icing over warm cake - I usually let it warm for about 15 minutes or so.

I them top with chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Reese's Pieces and put in fridge to set. Enjoy!
