Brown Sugar Fudge Frosting

Tuffykenwell's Note:

This frosting tastes exactly like Brown Sugar Fudge (we call it Penuche around here). It is a fantastic topping for Chocolate, Spice or Banana Cake) and is easy to make and spread (it does harden a bit on standing though). Really delicious (especially if you make sure and use REAL butter....margarine just doesn't create the same taste).

2. Beat in icing sugar in 3 additions making sure to combine thoroughly after each addition. Add vanilla and if required add enough milk to make a nice spreadable consistency.
