I had similar issues to Anna, above. The first attempt at the frosting I browned the butter beautifully, but then it took forever to come to a boil - so long that it burned before it ever came to a boil. The second batch I erred on the side of barely brown, and got there, but when I put it in the mixer, it did the graham-crumb thing. It was definitely not crystallized; I added a bit of cream and it smoothed out perfectly. Overall, they are tasty, but I would not say they are worth the effort. The brownies themselves (which are so easy!) were the best part!
