Peter Pan icing

1 C. butter
1 egg
5 C. powdered sugar
1 1/3 TBS half and half or evaporated milk

Beat butter until smotth. (this works best if butter is cold). Add egg and powdered sugar and beat just until combined. Add half-and-hald or evaporated milk, beat until smooth and creamy. Spread on bars.
This makes more frosting than needed, but half is not enough.
