Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting #2

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

A wonderful creamy frosting! Make lots, double or triple the recipe and freeze in 1 cup containers, this frosting freezes well. Although you most certainly can use half and half cream, whipping cream produces a creamier texture for this frosting.

Absolutely loved this! I had some plain graham crackers I wanted to use up and made this to have like a spread on them. It was wonderful! The peanut butter does not overpower the chocolate and vice versa. Wonderful recipe. Thanks for sharing!
