Directions
Melt butter in saucepan. Add brown sugar and cream. Cook over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Transfer to a large bowl.
Using a handheld electric mixer, beat in confectioner’s sugar until smooth. If frosting is too thick, add 1 tablespoon heavy cream at a time until consistency is right.
