I really liked this frosting not only was it nice light and creamy but it is much less sweet compared to other peanut butter frostings.

This is very creamy & light - great consistency. It's not too sweet either, which is what I find with a lot of frostings. I wish it had a bit more PB flavor. I used it to frost chocolate cupcakes, then I covered them with Reese's Pieces. :)
