Ingredients
- 1/2 cup softened butter

- 1 (16 oz) box confectioner's sugar
- 2 cups optional for garnish finely chopped black walnuts
Directions
Melt butter in saucepan. Add brown sugar and cream. Cook over medium-low heat for about 2 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Transfer to a large bowl.
