If you love caramel this is the perfect frosting recipe. It is fabulous for cakes and cupcakes. Let me warn you…it is hard to stop eating!
The secret ingredient that makes this frosting so rich and decadent is a can of dulce de leche. Dulce de leche is sweetened condensed milk that has been cooked into a smooth creamy caramel.
