This frosting is a little too runny for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more powdered sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of almond butter, but I really liked this frosting. It's not too overpowering.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my frosting turned out grainy. I think I might have overmixed it.

I had some trouble getting the frosting to spread smoothly. I ended up having to add a little bit of milk.

This frosting is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less sugar if you're not a fan of overly sweet desserts.

I'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I really enjoyed this frosting. The almond butter mellows out the tartness of the cranberries perfectly.
