- 4. Fudge Frosting: Combine butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium high heat; bring to a boil. Lower heat to medium low and continue to boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add milk and return to boil, stirring constantly. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl, cook to lukewarm. Gradually add powdered sugar, stirring until blended well.
