    Meanwhile, in medium bowl, beat powdered sugar, softened butter, and 2 teaspoons milk with spoon until smooth and fluffy. If frosting is too stiff to spread, add additional milk, 1/4 teaspoon at a time. Spread on top of rolls. Sprinkle nuts over top. Place 1 cherry half on center of each roll. Serve warm.
