CARAMEL ICING

A short time back, one of our local grocery stores had cake mixes on sale really cheap! Well, I couldn't resist ---with the huge sweet tooth that I have, so of course I bought several boxes and decided to give BUTTER PECAN a try. You can hopefully see in the picture that it was a nice, spongy cake and OH! so tasty! The only problem was; what kind of icing!?!?! The following is a recipe for caramel icing---sooooooo good! You won't be able to stop eating--WARNING for fellow sweet tooth owners!
