Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter or Sunflower Nut Butter or Soy Nut Butter – note: these options are often thinner than regular peanut butter, so additional confectioner’s sugar may be necessary to create the correct consistency
  • 1/2 cup butter or non-dairy alternative e.g. Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks at room temperature
  • 2 cups confectioner’s sugar
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 3 Tbs. milk of choice dairy or non-dairy like soy, coconut, almond or hemp
  • extra colorful gluten-free candies to sprinkle on top

Instructions

  • Mix together all ingredients except milk until smooth. Gradually add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until of a spreadable consistency. Depending on what kind of peanut butter you use (“natural” kinds sometimes have more liquid) you may need to add more or less milk.
  • Frost the cupcakes and top with sprinkles or colorful candies … and enjoy!
