Frosting of Love

I prefer the direct approach to a man’s heart—right through the sternum—but going through the stomach is nearly as effective. Here’s another weapon to that effect, thoroughly field tested and guaranteed to incapacitate the target with paroxysms of ecstasy. 

Frosting of Love 

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup Nutella
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature 
2 cups powdered (confectioner’s) sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk

Blend peanut butter, Nutella, and butter with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. Mix some more. Add another drop of milk if too stiff (frosting is one of the few things that can be “too” stiff). Slather on the sweet of your choice (which does not necessarily imply “baked goods,” does it?).

Does the trick for a 13 x 9-inch cake or brownies (and also those non-baked goods). I’d double the recipe for a layer cake, simply because I’ve never met a frosting recipe that delivers a nice, thick coat on a layer cake.

I can vouch that this frosting transforms a devil’s food cake prepared from a mix into an Object of Power. Slather it on Brownies of Love, and you have everything you need to overthrow the government of a smallish country and install yourself as the benevolent (or not so) dictator.
