Expert Tips

To save time, 1 container Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy dulce de leche (caramel) frosting can be substituted for the caramel frosting in this recipe.
In this recipe, butter is necessary to obtain the browned butter flavor in the icing. Margarine will not provide the same flavor or color and will take longer to brown.
