Stores in my area don't sell caramel icing by DH anymore. Say it has been discontinued???? Is that true?

The carmel icing does not have enough instructions. The softball stage is not satisfactory. How long does this have to cook to carmelize the sugar. I cooked it well over the 10 minutes and it has not disolved the sugar as of yet. That is a lot time and money put into an icing to not be able to use.

I have added pet milk to mine while coking and it works that way!

This is a fairly standard cooked frosting recipe, but I don't see the step where the sugar is cooked to make it caramel. It would probably taste all right as presented, but it's not caramel.

Hi, I am Matlock,
Call your local grocer and ask if they carry Argo corn starch. I use this for making gravy also.
