This frosting saved the birthday cake I made for my husband last weekend. I attempted to make a german chocolate cake but I didn't use enough spray on the pans. So, the cake came out in pieces and I used this frosting to hide the fact that it was such a mess. It saved my husbands birthday cake. I had run out of time for the back up pan of brownies.

This is SO delicious! I left out the vanilla, because I didn't have any, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. I covered a 9x13 pound cake very generously and had about 3/4 cup left over. It developed a hard skin, which gave a very pleasant crunchy outside, then moist inside, and it looked very pretty on the cake. I got rave reviews! Thanks!!

Thanks to recipe submitters and Thanks to all previous reviewers, especially msf27 that suggested 1 lb sugar is 4 cups...anyhow, I only added 1/2 cup milk but did add 4 oz of chocolate instead of three. Yes it was more sweet than chocoloatey, but it was Very Good! Still 5 star from this chocolate lover!! Easy to make too!

This was alright icing, but I thought it tasted more like sugar than chocolate. Ended up adding a lot of cocoa for more fudge like taste (was out of squares.) Consistency was good though.

This has got to be the worst chocolate frosting I think I've ever tasted. I made it according to the directions, and it hardly had any chocolate taste to it, so I added another two squares of unsweetened chocolate & a little more confectioners sugar. After adding more chocolate, it did taste more chocolatey, however, something's just off with the taste...sort of like a tiny bit burned. That being said, I used the unsweetened chocolate squares & melted them in the microwave with the butter. It didn't look or smell like it, but could I have possibly burned the chocolate a tiny bit? If that's the case, then I apologize for my 1 star review! I will give this recipe another chance the next time I make frosting, but will melt the chocolate over a double boiler & see if that makes a difference.

So simple and SOO good! Used it on the "Black Chocolate Cake" recipe (as suggested from another reviewer). A put a generous layer of frosting on the cake and then dusted some confectioner's sugar on top. Looks like it took lots of hard work and time but both recipes were so easy!

Finally! I have torn open the internet to find that "pefect chocolate fudge frositng" and I have come close, but never did I find one to be "perfect." That until I found this delectable sensation in your mouth. Wow! I love how easy is! And how fudgy too! I love the consistency of it. Thanks so much for posting this awesome out of this world recipe.

This frosting is fantastic! I bake maybe 1x a year, but lately I've decided to do more. This was extremely easy to make, not very messy at all, and it was a big hit with everyone who had it. I used it as a filling for a double-decker chocolate fudge cake, with extra frosting along the outside, covered in chocolate chips, with a little bit of powdered suger sprinkled on top. Yummy!

It's a great recipe!!! I added extra chocolate and reduced the milk to 1/2 cup, as suggested by others. This set up immediately and was thick, fluffy, and creamy. For those who found it runny or that it needed more confectioners sugar than called for...You must let the melted chocolate and butter mixture cool completely before adding to the confectioner's sugar. Otherwise the heat of the butter/chocolate mixture will melt the sugar, thin it, and prevent it from setting up.

I have never made chocolate frosting from scratch or even really like chocolate cake or frosting but this was awesome! I made this on a chocolate cake the other nite for dessert and it tasted wonderful. I only had half the amt of butter on hand so I subsituted with margarine which really made it runny i think so i added cocoa powder and lots of powdered sugar. Even so, it turned out delicious! Thank you so much for such an easy, delicious recipe!!

YUMMY! I used this frosting to frost "Too Much Chocolate Cake" and won third prize in our company bake off. My husband even loved the frosting & he doesn't really like chocolate. Thank you for sharing the recipe, Carrie.

Terrific! I used this to frost Michelle's Peanut butter marbled brownies and they were the hit of the party! I did reduce the milk to 1/2 cup and had to add more confectioner's sugar to thicken it up so next time I will reduce the milk even further. After I frosted the 13 by 9 pan of brownies I had quite a bit left over.

This was a very good frosting. I upped the chocolate to 4 oz. and used 1/2 cup of milk, and it was perfect. I piped it on my daughter's birthday ice cream cone cupcakes. (Remember those?) Needless to say my newly turned 6 year old is very impressed! Infact, we all were.

Excellent. I used only half a cup of milk, as suggested, let it cool about an hour, and voila. There also was plenty for the filling (in addition to the top and sides).

This frosting was really good! I used soy milk (a bit less than called for) and spread it over Peanut Butter Brownies (found the recipe on this site). They turned out delicious- will definitely save this recipe.

This frosting is fabulous. I tried to make it according to the directions, but I bought semi-sweet bars on accident. I used the recommendation and added 4 oz of chocolate. Since I had semi-sweet chocolate, I only added 2 cups of powdered sugar. It was great, fudgy and a little sweet. I used it to top the One Bowl chocolate cake on this website.

This was my first attempt at home made chocolate frosting and it was AWESOME!!! I made no changes, but I was worried about the amount of powdered sugar...we buy it in 7lb bags, so I had to guess how much 1lb was..I must have guessed right because it turned out wonderful! I used it to frost some chocolate cake in ice cream cone cupcakes...just something fun for the kids while on spring break :-) Thanks so much for this recipe!
