GRAMMY'S GERMAN-STYLE FROSTING



Grammy's German-Style Frosting image

This is a decadent, buttery, chewy, crunchy absolutely YUMMY frosting. I used to eat it by the spoonful straight out of the pan (I'm serious). It's basically the same type of frosting you would see on a German chocolate cake.My grandmother always frosted her oatmeal spice cake with it.
