Maple Cream Cheese Frosting

Ingredients
1 stick butter
1 cup cream cheese
4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Brown sugar (Optional)

1. Using an electric mixer, whip together butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy.
2. Add 2 cups of confectioners' sugar starting with the mixer on low and speeding up until well mixed.
3. Add vanilla, salt, and maple syrup and mix well.
4. Add remaining confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, whipping on high.
5. If frosting is too soft, add more confectioners' sugar 1/2 cup at a time until desired consistency.
6. If frosting is too thick, add a splash of maple syrup.
7. Generously frost the top of cooled cupcakes and sprinkle with brown sugar to add a delicious crunch.
