Coconut Pecan Frosting Mix Substitute

Combine the sweetened flaked coconut, firmly packed brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and chopped pecans in a medium mixing bowl.

Cut the butter or margarine into small pieces and add to the dry mixture, stirring until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with no large lumps of butter remaining.

Use this frosting mix immediately over freshly baked cakes or brownies while still warm, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
