This is absolutely wonderful!! I cooked the brown sugar and butter longer and after I added the milk I also cooked that longer, gave it a good strong caramel flavor! Put it on banana cake -delicious! You can eat this right out of the bowl like candy! I will only use this recipe when making caramel frosting!! Thanks so much!!

I love this frosting! This is the second time I have made it. The first time I used it as a filling for a chocolate layer cake, the second time I used it to frost chocolate cupcakes (Simple 'N' Delicious Chocolate Cake from this site). I found that 2/3 of a recipe was just right to frost 12 cupcakes.

Good recipe!! Taste really good. I didn't add as nearly as much powdered sugar as the recipe call for but it tastes like caramel even before you get to the powdered sugar part and taste fine as it is, though I probably wouldn't add as much salt as the recipe called for, but great recipe!!!!

Helloooo sweet tooth ~ this is some serious sugar! This recipe did not turn grainy nor develop a 'crust' like other caramel frosting recipes I've tried, probably due to reheating the caramel after the addition of milk which allows any rogue sugar crystals to cook out. While the caramel sauce IS good on its own (better over ice cream.. ahem), I wanted a frosting thicker than a glaze, but without compromising that rich buttery brown sugar flavor. To achieve that, I whipped in about 1C - 1 1/2 C confectioners sugar, tasted and still found it too (confectionary) sweet. Stirring in a dollop of sour cream instead of milk took the edge off and produced the consistency I desired to top a spicy apple cake. Many thanks to Glenda for this delectable submission.

SO SO wonderful! Its not a good consistency to pipe with an icing tip because it doesnt really hold its shape but it tastes OH SO GOOD! I LOVE this recipe and I'll be using it again and again!
