I'm not a religious gal - but I said a little prayer after eating this miracle of a frosting. I bet it could make anything taste fabulous... Make sure to work fast though - pour and frost quickly - as I found it started to set as soon as it was out of the pot. Make exactly as the recipe says. I used 'special' dark chocolate chips because I love dark chocolate, but as other reviewers have said, anything will work. Praise the chocolate gods!

Heavenly. Decadent. Irresistably chocolate frosting (who would WANT to resist anything chocolate anyways?!) =) This is SO quick and easy to make. I love the beautiful sheen it leaves covering my brownies. I easily covered two 8x8 pans of brownies and had enough left so I coated some pretzels...still had some left. It's that insanely good, I would've eaten it with a spoon. =)

This was delish! I was in a rush to bake brownies for the soccer team party and the brownie recipe I used was dry and flaky so I wanted to cover it with frosting. This was the ticket. I defintely won't use the quick brownie recipe again but I will use this frosting recipe.

I made exactly as shown but I found it to be too much icing for a 9 by 13 inch pan of brownies. I think next time I will half the recipe. Very good though.

This is our favorite brownie frosting recipe. I have been making this all my life but I usually use brown sugar instead of white. Nice flavor. Make sure that you do not cook anymore than the stated time or less or it gets hard and grainy. Use chocolate chips. I usually use Ghiradardelli chips

This a perfect, and since it is liquid when you pour it on the brownies, it evens out the pan if one side of brownies are shorter than the other.

I used this for cupcakes, but it was a little thin. The taste was outstanding though, and it does thicken after sitting, so I can see why it's the perfect brownie frosting!

This is a thick, glossy, fudge-like frosting, perfect, I agree, for brownies, though I used it to frost My Mom's Chocolate Cake, also from this site. I prepared this exactly as written and found both the ingredients and the directions to be spot on. Hubs called this frosting a cross between a truffle and fudge. I just call it darn good!

This was a great old-fashioned frosting! It worked fine to use confectioner's sugar (what I had on hand) I also used 1/3c chocolate chips, 1/3c peanut butter chips & 1/3c toffee pieces in place of 1 cup chocolate chips. The peanut butter chips melted differently than the chocolate, so I threw in 2 tbs peanut butter as well. It suited my needs perfectly, and I could tell it'd make a great chocolate frosting (as intended in the original recipe)
