Preparation
    In large mixing bowl whip together the Crisco and butter for 7 minutes on high until completely blended and light and fluffy.
    Add the cocoa powder and peanut butter, beat for for another 7 minutes on high, scrape bowl often.
    Add vanilla and beat for another 7 minutes.
    Add the confectioner's sugar and beat for another 7 minutes.
    The frosting should be light and fluffy and hold its shape well. If needed add more confectioner's sugar or if too dry and stiff, add a tablespoon of cream as needed to get the consistency you need.
