Awesome recipe! It reminds me of what my grandma used to make. I put it on yellow cake. It disappeared.

What a wonderful recipe! We also made a caramel sauce with it by not adding the powdered sugar.

grandma2969, this is an excellent frosting. I had this at a friend's house. She made a vanilla cake, frosted it with Brown Sugar Frosting and served it fresh sliced peaches. This recipe is in my permanent recipe collection. Thank you for sharing a frosting recipe that is great on virtually any cake.

Very, very good. Made to go with recipe #216542. Will be a repeat.

I made this per instructions and was very happy with the texture and taste of this icing. It has a praline-like flavor and is very creamy. I had to add about 1/2 cup more powdered sugar. I will use this recipe again and highly recommend it.
