Peanut Butter Frosting

My grandma Lucie used to make the best peanut butter frosting.  I would love to go to her house and eat chocolate cake with fresh peanut butter frosting.  Oh the memories.  This is not her recipe as she just threw the ingredients together and never measured, but it is pretty close.   That is why her frosting  was so good cause it was made with love.

1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter - softened to room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of salt
3 Tbsp milk - as needed
2 cups powdered sugar

Place the butter and peanut butter into a medium bowl, and beat with an electric mixer.  Gradually  mix in the sugar, vanilla, salt and when it starts to get thick, incorporate milk one tablespoon at a time until all of the sugar is mixed in and the frosting is thick and spreadable.  Beat for at least 3 minutes for it to get good and fluffy.
