Caramel Buttercream

Most of the Swiss buttercream flavors we create have acidity, bitterness, or alcohol to cut the intensity of the butter, but mixing caramel with Swiss Buttercream, on the other hand, results in an extra buttery and rich icing. If you have homemade Caramel Sauce to use, then do so. The flecks of vanilla bean in the homemade caramel sauce add a nice look to the finished icing. Otherwise, you can still achieve a flavorful icing with a store-bought sauce, without the additional effort. Because the intensity of flavor may vary by brand, feel free to add a little more or less caramel, as desired. You can garnish with crushed chocolate-dipped pretzels or roasted peanuts as well as additional caramel sauce.
