Caramel Frosting to make Salted Caramel Cupcakes!

•  1/4 cup butter
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup  shortening
• 2 cups powdered sugar

Melt butter in a saucepan, stir in the brown sugar and the salt. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.  Mix shortening and caramel mixture together until creamy.  Add powdered sugar and beat for 3 minutes.

 I drizzled melted Kisses over the frosting to add decorative detail & sprinkled with salt for salted caramel flavor!  You can kind of see the salt in this picture:

  Enjoy!  I know I did!!
