This recipe was good but not spectacular. Would not make it again. Would have preferred a more caramel flavour. Suspect there was too much milk for the ratio of sugar and butter. This is a similar recipe of my grandmother's: 2/3 c brown sugar, 1/4 c butter, 1/2 c coconut, 1/2 c walnuts, 2 tbsp milk. Cook together 3 mins (until sugar dissolved), spread on cake and place under the broiler until slightly brown. Enough icing for an 8 inch square cake.

The frosting came out perfect! Spread perfect. A go to recipe. Was super easy.

I actually had to use sweetened condensed milk as a substitute for the evaporated milk and brown sugar (after researching it), and the results were just fabulous! Very tasty and the consistency was perfect.

I loved the frosting and can't imagine ever buying a premade kind again! The recipe calls for toasting the pecans, which can cause a strong taste even if they're only lightly toasted. I think it's a case of personal preference whether or not you'll like the toasting, but it was a hit in my house!
