This Seven Layer Bar frosting is inspired by the classic Seven Layer Magic Bar! The frosting is loaded with chocolate chips, walnuts, caramel, coconut and more.

OH MY GOSH, I am kinda excited about this Seven Layer Frosting. I love cupcakes; I really believe that the frosting can make or break a cupcake. I was never a huge fan of frosting, until I started to make my own. I used to eat the cake all the way around and leave the frosting on my plate.

Well I was looking to try some new frosting recently. I have been on kind of a coconut and chocolate kick; see Pina Colada Cupcake or Chunky Monkey Layer Bars. I was inspired by high hat S’mores frosting and I wanted to try a different frosting with graham cracker mixed in.

DING DING! Enter Seven Layer Frosting. This has all the fixings for a seven layer bar, including the condensed milk right in the frosting!

It isn’t overly sweet, but you would never know how many things are mixed in. It’s important with this frosting that you grind everything up in a food processor so there are no large chunks; also so that you can use a piping bag if you wish.

I like a lot of frosting piled high, but if that’s not your thing, you should half the recipe below.

Instructions

1. Cut butter into pieces. Using the paddle attachment, whip butter for 3-5 minutes, scraping down the bowl occasionally. Beat until butter look light in color.
2. Add 2 cups of powdered sugar and  vanilla extract  and mix on low speed until well combined. Beat for about 60 seconds.
3. Next, add an additional 2 cups of powdered sugar along with the heavy whipping cream and beat on low speed until sugar is incorporated.
4. Add the last cup powdered sugar along with sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce . Beat on low until ingredients start to mix together. Increase speed to medium-high and beat for another 3-5 minutes to whip additional air into the frosting.
5. In a large food processor, grind up the remaining ingredients: chocolate chips, coconut, walnuts and graham crackers. Grind into smaller pieces until is resembles a crumb-like texture.
6. Add into the frosting and mix just until combined.

Notes
