Penuche Frosting

This stuff is so delicious it's almost wrong.

PENUCHE FROSTING
½ cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
¼ cup evaporated milk
2 cups powdered sugar

In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil; boil over low heat for 2 minutes. Add milk and (still stirring!) return to a boil. Cool mixture to lukewarm (you can put the saucepan in icewater in the sink to cool it faster) and stir in powdered sugar until frosting is thick enough to spread.

Helpful hint: to make sure the frosting doesn't sugar over, add a little bit of corn syrup to the mixture.

If you want to make this frosting into penuche candy, just keep adding powdered sugar until it's thick enough to roll into small balls. Roll the balls in chopped nuts and give them to someone you love. (Like you, for instance.)

Makes everything awesome. But you probably shouldn't spread it on liverwurst or anything.
