O..M...G!! This is the BEST frosting I have ever tasted! I followed the recipe exactly and I couldn't help but taking bites of it every few minutes! I used it to frost my turkey day carrot cake.. yum.

I had burnt butter frosting a couple weeks ago and loved it and then found this recipe. I made it today for a burnt sugar cake(II from this site). Well I need to pay better attention to the serving because I made it for 2 9" round cakes and it is not enough to ice all around. I have filling and then just on the top layer. The same thing happened to the person whose cake I had tried before. When he did it though it was enough for the flavor maybe make it a little thinner to drizzle a little. I also did not start the butter at med high. I started on low while I was getting everything else started and then turned it up and it browned quickly, the OP said he had a hard time getting to brown. He did not use this recipe but had told me it was similar when I showed it to him>

I give this frosting 6 stars! WOW! This is seriously the best frosting I have ever tasted. It is very very rich so a little goes a long way. I used it to top some peanut butter cupcakes. Fab combination. Thanks so much for this recipe!!

I don't know if I messed up or not, but I didn't like the flavor. It reminded me of the melted butter I used for lobster. I wondered if maybe the spoon I used was melting into the butter, but it didn't smell like plastic. I had my husband taste the frosting, and he said it was fine, but I don't like it. I am sure I cooked it long enough, it did turn brown.

I made banana cupcakes from an old family recipe and it didn't have the frosting recipe on it! I found this one and it was just what I was looking for! A half recipe was plenty to frost about 30 cupcakes.

Yum yum yum~!! I got a little carried away the first time I attempted to make this and didn't add the sugar slowly... oops! But the second time it was perfect!

I could eat this frosting all by itself. You have to use it quickly because it sets very fast

This is my default frosting recipe. It seems a lot fancier than plain vanilla and it goes well with many cake flavors. It sounds better if you call it "browned butter frosting". If you've really burned the butter you'd better start again!

I have had burnt butter frosting before however; this wasn't what I expected. It was gritty and tasted like pure sugar. I believe the problem was the recipe was written down and I used granulated sugar vs. powdered sugar. HEEELLLLOOO! I will try again this weekend and anticipate much better results. :-) I tried this again and the texture was better but still not exactly what I was looking for. However, it was still good on my carrot cake!

Wonderful toffee taste. Very sweet! I piped it in thin lines onto brownies, and it was delicious. Might have been overpowering to spread like a frosting though.

I personally loved it! Very interesting and I couldn't eat it alone, it was too rich but on top of a fudge brownie it would be great. My husband said it was too buttery but I give it 5 stars for uniqueness?!

Thanks for this recipe! My grandmother use to make this all the time on her spice cake or carrot cake. I forgot about it until I saw this recipe. Love the flavor!

I was glad to find this recipe, as I had accidently burnt some butter and didn't know what to do with it. I made Blonde Brownies from this site and frosted them with this. I love the flavor of the burnt butter frosting- I've never had it before!

SO GREAT! My Sister in law made cookies recently frosted with a similar recipe and only stated it wa "Brown butter frosting." This was exactly it! I used it to frost butterscotch cookies---fabulous!

I love this "burnt" flavor of frosting. I tasted it at a friends birthday, and she said she just throws things together, and didn't really have a recipe, so I came to allrecipes to find one, and wahlah. I tried it on a birthday cake with my family, and we loved it. It is pretty sweet, so just put a thin layer on the cake. Very Yummy!

The consistency was ok, but the icing was too sweet and the flavour slightly odd. I wouldn't make this again.

This is the best tasting frosting ever! The name is mis-leading, the butter isn't burnt but heated just enough to give it a nutty flavor. I used this to frost all my christmas cookies last year (except the white santa b/c this frosting is yellow) and everyone raved about the flavor.

What more can I say than "wow". It had a very interesting flavor, for sure, and although nobody really seemed to "love" it, every drop of the icing was licked out of the bowl and eaten off of the cake! Addicting!

Very different, but very good too! It's one of those recipes that just happens to taste ten times better than it sounds )i.e. "burnt butter!?!?" but really -- it's great! :)
