Directions

1. Step1

   Place peanut butter and butter in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium until smooth. Gradually add 2 cups of the powdered sugar and ¼ cup of the milk; beat well. Slowly beat in another ¼ cup milk and the vanilla. Gradually beat in remaining powdered sugar. Beat in enough of the remaining milk to reach piping consistency. Set peanut butter frosting aside.

2. Step2

   Using an apple corer, melon baller or paring knife, cut out a 1-in. cone from the center of each cupcake. Insert the tool about halfway down. Remove the cones and trim ½ inch off the cone bottoms; set aside.
