Caramel Frosting
From grandmacooks 16 years ago
- 15 minutes to make
- Serves 8
This is my guess at a now deceased relative's frosting she made without a recipe. She gave me her method and approximate amounts many many years ago, and when I make it, it tastes just like hers. She would frost half a two-layer cake with this and the other half with chocolate for birthday gatherings so you would have a choice of flavors.

Ingredients
- 3/4 stick butter shopping list
- 1 - 1 1/2 cups brown sugar (I like dark brown) shopping list

How to make it

- Use low to medium low heat.
- After it melts, stir in 1/4 cup milk.
- Bring to a hard boil and let it boil 1 minute or up to 2 minutes but NO LONGER or it will set up too hard.
- Take off heat and pour over about 1/2 up to 3/4 box (1 pound box) of 10X sugar.
- Beat well.
- Beat in 1 tsp vanilla.
- If too thick, add more milk.
