German Chocolate Cake Frosting

With how easy and delicous this recipe is, there is no excuses for anyone to rely on canned German Chocolate frosting anymore. This recipe is tried and true courtesy of my favorite cook...my mom. My husband loves German chocolate cake, and this frosting is what makes it. Once again, I hope you enjoy this as much as we do.
