Recipe Notes

 

When blending together the granulated sugar and brown sugar, break up clumps of brown sugar with fingertips if needed. If the frosting is a little runny, you can freeze it in a bowl for a few minutes, then mix again. Repeat for a few times as needed to make the consistency thicker.
