Followed all the directions, and while the flavor was fine...the texture was grainy.

I used less sugar (brown and powdered) based on previous reviews. This was good but still very sweet.

Absolutely yummy although it takes a little time. But it was worth it for me and my guests - everybody loved it on the Banana Cake X from this site. Thanks!

I just wanted to say how hard I laughed at the person who gave this recipe 3 stars because it was "too sweet"... LOL...really?! If you're not clued in to its sweetness by the words "Caramel" or "Frosting" in the title, you might be clued in by the 3 cups of confectioner's sugar...hmmm.

This frosting is awesome! It was very easy to make. The only thing I did different was added about 1/2 c. more confectioner sugar to make it a little thicker. The taste was great. I will definitely use this recipe again.

THis is very similar to a recipe I use. I want to add that using dark brown sugar instead of light brown makes a much tastier frosting. This is wonderful on yellow cake.

This is good but I honestly can't see how icing sugar is part of this recipe. It's already so sweet from the brown sugar, I can't imagine how sweet it would be with the icing sugar. And because of that, I used 3 tsps of flour to substitute as a thickening agent.

Excellent. Be flexible enough to add more or less milk or 10X sugar to get the right consistency depending on your use. I use a little more milk and use this as a heavy glaze for cinnamon buns.

Positively delightful, and a little goes a long way. Very sweet, which can be your friend or your enemy depending on how you want to use this. I've found that if you boil it a little longer than two minutes after you get the brown sugar in, you get a much stronger caramel flavor. The longer you boil, the stronger the flavor is.

I thought this was an excellent recipe. I added 1 tablespoon milk when beating together and the frosting turned out very smooth - very easy to spread. I put the frosting on some yellow cupcakes and they were scrumptious!

Far, far too sweet and tastes too much of powdered sugar. Not something I would make again.

Super yummy! I omitted about 3/4 cup powdered sugar because it was thick enough for my cake.

Great recipe, not too sweet and plenty of caramel flavor. Try to spread while it's still warm so you can put on a thin, even layer.

Wonderful caramel frosting. I used it on pumpkin cookies and they disappeared at work.
