I always like trying new versions of old favorites and this recipe is a great version of a PB buttercream.
I used it to top the chocolate stout cupcakes from this recipe.

1C salted butter, room temperature
1C creamy peanut butter

2. Lower the speed to low and slowly add powdered sugar.
3. Scrape the sides of the bowl.
4. Pour in heavy cream, and beat on low until smooth.
5. Scrape the sides of the bowl again.
6. Beat on high for 5 minutes, until buttercream has become light and fluffy.
