Butterscotch Maple Frosting
"This recipe is a little different because it uses cream cheese as the base and butterscotch chips with maple flavoring. It is good on yellow cake or cupcakes. This recipe makes 3 cups or enough for 24 cupcakes. Toasted pecans make a nice garnish."

<p>I live in the Kansas City area and have many hobbies including cooking, reading and spending time with my husband and two children who are very active in sports now. I also have an eBay business which is a fun hobby that makes a little extra money! My interest in cooking focuses on making healthy dishes that are more satisfying than the higher fat and higher sugar versions. If I had a month off with no responsibilities, I would spend it at a luxury spa. <br /> <br /></p>
