Coconut Pecan Frosting | When it comes to frosting this one is ahead of the line. Completely acceptable to eat by the spoonfuls. This frosting is filled with coconut, pecans and encased with delicious caramel. Use this frosting for cupcakes. Make your favorite Samoa Cookies with this frosting. I used it to fill my devil’s food cupcakes in my German Chocolate Cupcakes or on top of German Chocolate Brownies!
This frosting freezes beautifully!
