This was a good recipe, very sweet but good. The only problem I had with it was that after a day it became very hard. Maybe it was my house though (it can be drafty).

Fabulous as is, but who could resist making it even more intense. I used 3 ounces of the chocolate instead of the 1 ounce, this created a more pronounced chocolate flavor. Some of the other reviewers should try this recipe again with the additional chocolate and they will see it is a winner! If the butter softens too much (as on a humid day) allow extra time for chilling the frosting before adding to the cake.

Very good, not too sweet and a nice chocolate taste. Doesn't make much though.

Very runny... to be fair, it was a hot evening when I made this. Also, it didn't make very much frosting.

This is a fantastic icing, it wasn't runny at all, and tasted beautiful, my husband said he could have eaten the icing on it's own! Will definately be using this again.

Fantastic recipe! We used it on "Jan's Chocolate Cake" also found here. I made it for my 24 year old's birthday and the entire family was so impressed as it rivaled any good bakery product. We liked the light chocolate flavor and I agree with the professional baker's comment...excellent and easy frosting.

Great frosting with a terrific consistency for piping. I had to add twice the amount of chocolate to get that deep chocolate flavor that I was looking for. All in all, I will definitley use this recipe again.

Very disappointing. Followed directions exactly (only doubled to use on 2-layer cake) Really dry & not as rich as hoped for -- will not make again. Store bought would have been better!

It's flavor was decent but the texture was aweful. It was very fluffy, too fluffy. Not creamy at all. I followed the recipe exactly.

Although the recipe tastes EXCELLENT, I think you should mention in the instructions the approximate time we should be mixing the sugar and butter before adding the chocolate. I started to panic when it wasn't coming together and it ended up looking like little pearls in a bowl. I put it on the stove and everything finally came together.

This was wonderful!!! I doubled the recipe to frost a layer cake. The only change I made was substituting 1 1/2 Tablespoons of milk, with Kalua (adult Birthday Cake). Everyone raved about the flavor! I did panic a bit at first...while mixing the butter and sugar together, it got very dry. But, I continued to mix, and it did turn in to a creaming mixture. Thanks for a keeper!!

very creamy easy-to-make frosting. I recommend it. Make sure to double it for a layer cake! Also, if you use salted butter like I do, you should leave out the pinch of salt.

This frosting is really good--I found that 1/4 c. butter wasn't enough compared to the amount of powdered sugar--when I mixed the two, the result was dry and crumbly, not "light and fluffy," so I added the other half of the stick of butter and it seemed to be just right then. I used this on a red velvet cake and it was great, but if you want to use it on a cake, you'll probably need to double the recipe.

Unbelievably delicious! This creamy frosting tastes like premium chocolate ice cream. Spreads easily, even over delicate cakes. I've been in the food industry for years, and this is hands down the best chocolate frosting recipe I've come across. Double the recipe for a 13 x 9.

This frosting is heavenly! I used salted butter, and 1/4 cup semi-sweet chips. It turned out so creamy and delicious...easy, too...I'll never buy the yucky store tubs again!
