    I love this frosting. It is wonderful on Spice Cupcakes. My grandma used to make it all time. She would add 2 tablespoons of coffee. It added a real rich taste.

    Easy Penuche FrostingApril 28, 2011 By Louisewatts
    This was so easy. I used this frosting on a carrot cake. This cake sold at a cake auction and I had people calling the next day asking for the icing recipe. It makes a perfect combination to the carrot cake. This will become a regular for our local bake sales from now on and I will highly recommend this icing.

    delicious & easyJune 04, 2010 By BetteBarkley
    If I'd known how easy Penuche frosting was to make, I would have made it years ago. This frosting brings back memories of penuche fudge. Directions are clear and easy to follow. When I finished cooking the butter, brown sugar & milk, the mixture seemed pretty thin, but when it cooled and the confectioners sugar was beaten in, the consistency was perfect. I used it to frost my Grama Dee's applesauce cake.

    Great tasting and easy!December 13, 2009 By irishrovr
    Tastes great on pumpkin cookies!! This was more than enough to ice 3 dozen fairly large sized cookies. Should be very good on cake as well. Yum!

    This frosting is delicious, nice rich flavor but not overbearing. Easy to make. I put it on a pecan cake ; it was a big hit with everyone.
