This frosting tastes like fudge!! You can adjust the sweetness by adding a little more salt. It will crust over pretty quickly, you can lengthen the time by adding more cream.
1/2 c. salted butter
1/2 c. crisco shortening
1 c. peanut butter
8 c. powdered sugar (2 lbs.)
2 tsp. vanilla
about 1 c. half and half or light cream
3-4 tbs. corn syrup
1/4 tsp. salt
Cream together butter, shortening and peanut butter. Add powdered sugar one cup at a time. Frosting will look dry and crumbly. At this point add vanilla and salt, then slowly add half and half and corn syrup until it reaches desired consistency.
