What Else Can I Add To My Buttercream Filling?

I mix buttercream about 1/2 and 1/2 with jams (like Smucker's strawberry jam) and it's delicious. Cracker Barrel Country store sells a seedless raspberry jam that's my very favorite - but I can't remember the brand name.
Refigeration isn't necessary when adding jam to bc as far as I know. My most popular non perishable filling is cookies & cream. Crushed oreos mixed with bc! YUMMMM!
how about crushed up heath bar or snickers candy or butterfinger.....ANYTHING can be added. Go to the ice cream isle and look at the Ben & Jerry's flavors - you can put anything they would put into their ic into your bc. Have fun with it 
In my chocolate cake I just made I melted some strawberry spread and mixed it w/ the buttercream. It tasted great.
great.. thank you so much, does the jam have to be refrigated with the buttercream or can I leave it out??
thank you again!!
Yes, any fillings made with jams, jellies, and preserves require the cake to be refrigerated since they can mold/ferment at room temperature very quickly.
I love this thread... I tend to always do plain buttercream as the filling... These are great ideas!
Thank you!
There are "toppins" in the icecream isle... when I have to do a small amount of cookies and cream BC filling then I use the oreos in that little bottle... also.. the reeses toppings are very good...
Peanut butter
caramel topping
hot fudge topping...
crushed up malted milk balls is also very good 
The Creme Bouquet can be ordered from Global Sugar Art (that is where I bought mine and they are really fast on shipping!), but there is a recipe for it on the CC forums which a lot of people are using... of course, I found it AFTER I had ordered three bottles of the Creme Bouquet 
Creme Bouquet Recipe
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp (clear) vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
1 tsp butter flavoring
It really gives it a nice flavor... I think you will really like it... all my my catering customers love it and request it over and over... you can change the fruit in the recipe .... just buy different preserves! Please let me know how you liked it... Please?
Dulce de leche is a caramelised condensed milk widely used in Argentina. It is a convienet way of adding a caramel flavor to condensed milk instead of cooking it yourself (and perhaps burning it along the way!) You can add rum to the cake to make it more authentic. Also any butter cake with lemon and a generous drizzle of this - heaven! Cheers
Flavored non-dairy coffee creamer works great.
