That Peanut Butter Frosting

I posted a few weeks back about a Reese's cake I made. The frosting on that cake was absolutely amazing, and I have had a lot of people asking for the recipe. I made it again tonight(with my homemade vanilla, at that) and I swear it was even more amazing than before. I cheated and used a box cake mix because I forgot I was supposed to make dessert for Justin to take to dinner tomorrow, and just didn't have the time.
