Loved it! I took the many recommendations and toasted both the coconut and the pecans. I too cooked it for almos 20 minutes to get it to the right consistency. Thank you so much!

Exactly what I was looking for. Why buy a can frosting when you can make it from scatch so easily???!! Thanks for a great recipe!

Made this for my nieces birthday. I toasted the coconut and pecans before adding and that was the ticket! I doubled the recipe and had a cup left over after generously frosting double layered cake so I made another cake 3 days later. Very good.

Easier than I thought it was going to be. Growing up I loved this kind of frosting, thought I could only get it out of a can. (not a big baker) I have never made a frosting you had to cook before. It took a little longer to thicken than I thought it would. It was worth the time. Everyone loved it!

I'm so glad I made this recipe and not one of the others that were on this site. This one looked a lot easier but didn't have as many ratings. I decided to give this one a try and it was wonderful! My husband loves German Chocolate cake and so I made it for his birthday. I decided to go for a home made frosting instead of out of the can, and I'm glad I did. This is easy to make. I boiled it for about 20 minutes on medium, added the nuts and coconut and let cool. I didn't have to add anything to get it to be thick enough, like I read about in other reviews of other recipes. This one turned out great and my husband loved it!

Made this frosting, just as listed---it's absolutely amazing. Cooking took approximately 20 min...but well worth the time. I put it between the layers, and on the top, frosting the side with rich mocha frosting (of my own) Soooo good!

Wonderful frosting! The key to this thickening up is to stir and cook over medium heat for about 12 minutes.

Tasty! I only had sweetened condensed milk, so I cut back on the sugar a bit and it worked great!

Initially, I thought this was not very smooth and had an eggy flavor (I added 13c condensed milk to counter this), but it improved after cooling. My boyfriend loves this frosting. I cooked it for about 20-25 minutes, and it became very thick with a carmel flavor. I toasted the coconut and pecans before adding, and I would definitely recommend this.

This frosting recipe was easy and turned out fabulous. Make sure you cook over medium to medium heat while stirring constantly to obtain a thick consistancy. I'm a grandma and the smell of the brown sugar, milk, eggs and butter cooking reminded me of my first job in the summer of 1963 where I made carmel corn from scratch each day. This recipe is well worth the little extra effort.

I think this recipe is missing a crucial step-a time indicator of actually how long you must stir this frosting in order for it to thicken. The taste of the frosting is good, however, the very long amount of time involved for it to thicken on the stovetop was not worth the time spent.

This was absolutely the best frosting I have ever had. Mine turned out great,and it smelled so good while it was cooking. I could have eaten it all with a spoon rather than putting it on the cake.... YUM!
