      Just made a half batch of this. I ended up putting another TB of butter and splash of milk, it was too thick for me. Then added a TB of cream cheese... oh my, it turned out so good. Thanks for the recipe!

      Agree totally with the reviewer below. This frosting is the closest I've found to the tub stuff, but without the additives. I'm not a fan of buttercream, I like the real sweet, thick frosting and this is it!

      Could this frosting be any easier and delicious? I think not! Don't be tempted to cut corners and buy frosting from the can. This recipe is simple and quite tasty.
