                    Quick and easy...not to mention thick, creamy, and delicious! Jake, my son, likes this on yellow mini cupcakes; my husband Chris likes it sandwiched between cookies; I'm guilty of licking it right out of the bowl:) Makes enough for a single layer cake Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                8 caramels, unwrapped  |

                                                2 cups powdered sugar, sifted  |
