Coconut Pecan Frosting for German Chocolate Cake

This recipe is SO much better than store bought.  I remember snitching this out of the pan a LOT when I was growing up.  The recipe for chocolate frosting is a great combination with this as well.
1.2 c butter
1 c evaporated milk
1 c sugar
3 egg  yolks
1 t vanilla
1-1/3 c flake coconut
1 c chopped pecans

1. Place butter in pan on med heat.  
2. Blend in milk, sugar, egg yolks, and vanilla . Cook until thickened.  
3. Remove from heat and add coconut and pecans.  Stir until cooled and of spreading consistancy. 

Use this with my chocolate frosting recipe for an amazing German Chocolate cake.  Or try my German Chocolate Upside Down cake recipe for a quicker dessert.
