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!

This is the best buttercream recipe I've found so far! The texture was smooth and the flavor oh so buttery! I wanted just a basic buttercream so I left out the chocolate. I used a butter spread (didn't have enough "real" butter on hand), so it wasn't as thick as I'd wanted. Can't wait to try it with real butter! ***02/03/07 UPDATE: Used real butter this time and it the consistency was great. I used it to decorate the cake and it wasn't too soft of gooey. It kept the shape of the designs. Awesome recipe!!!

I followed the recipe exactly and this was amazing! Very easy to make, great consistency to work with, just perfect. This amount will frost a 9 X 13 cake. Thanks :)

it's great i tried it and a lot of people is now placing an order of one for them,everyone's love the chocolatey taste it's just that it's overly sweet and lacking of moisture but i want to try adding a tsp. of glycerin just to add moist in it, and it's perfect in chocolate cake with a caramel filling.

Very easy. I didn't change a thing. It was enough to frost a 9 x 13 cake. I will never buy canned frosting again.

Really great recipe for frosting. Should double it though if you need to frost a whole 9 inch cake. Perfect for piping decorations! I used it for my twins' birthday cake. Turned out great! Looks beautiful, and tastes great too! Will have a picture soon..

This was easy to make. The taste was great on a 2 layer cake! Used cream instead of milk, but really looking forward to next time to try kahula!!!

I used this recipe to frost my husband's birthday cake, and we both LOVED it! It was delicious and very easy to make, and best of all, didn't have that nasty, mouth-coating texture that a lot of buttercream recipes (usually the ones with shortening) have. I will definitely be making this again!

Excellent frosting. I doubled the recipe for a 9 inch layer cake. I used half milk and half kahula for the liquid.

I like the taste of this frosting a lot. I used it with the Cherry Chocolate cake, which I made twice. I scaled the recipe to make 12 servings, but there wasn't enough liquid. For 12 servings, it said use 1/4 cup butter + 2 tablespoons of butter, but I had to use 1/2 cup butter. I also used half and half instead of milk. This was just enough to cover the cake. I would make for 14 or 16 servings next time in order to have enough.

I did not personally taste this, but the rest of the family loved it. I did make it with melted (added a little shortening) semi-sweet chips as it was all I had (instead of the melting- chocolate squares). I just melted 1/4 of a bag (I doubled the whole recipe for a 9 x 13)in the microwave 1 minute to start then stirred, then 30 second intervals until smooth. Worked great.
