This frosting was great and I got several compliments. It was smooth and creamy and stayed that way for a couple of days (instead of getting dried out the way some frostings do).

If you want a smooth, glossy frosting microwave it for 30 seconds and spread while hot. Otherwise, I find it difficult to spread...

I resolved the problem about the "funny" texture,placed the melted butter (or margarine) and 1/4 cup chocolate powder in a sauce pan over low heat fire and stirred for 2-3 minute until I get I creamy-like mixture then pour the mixture into the mixing bowl with the rest of the ingredients as directed in this recipe. I highly recommend using an electric mixer to get the smooth consistency. I only used 3 cups confectioners' sugar.

Oh Yum! This was great, cut the confex sugar down to 3c. as per other reviewers, used butter instead of margarine and Hershey's cocoa. Scrumptious on my boxed vanilla cake!LOL...so glad I didnt have canned frosting in the house cause this was perfect.

This was excellent...so much better than the store! I used ghiradelli chocolate and it was plenty chocolate-y enough although I added a little less sugar too. Plenty to frost everything I needed for my double layer cake.

Fabulous! I used it for Black Forest Cake II (this site) and it complemented it very well. Super easy to whip up but it has a nice texture and frosts really well.

This was just ok for me. very sweet and had a weird taste to it...I cant put my finger on what it was.. in order to get it thick enough, i would have had to put a lot of powdered sugar in it, but it already had too much when I quit adding it...eh...I wont make it again.

I initially planned to follow other reviews and cut the sugar down when I made this, but I found that I needed all the sugar to get the right consistency. So, I ended up following the recipe exactly and it turned out great. If you're expecting frosting just like what you get in a tub at the store this isn't it, but this does have a rich chocolate flavor and it was great on cupcakes. It was pretty sweet and a thin layer of frosting was plenty. It would be perfect for brownies too! I had enough for 15 cupcakes.

the original recipe was too sweet, too much confectioner's sugar. like others, i suggest decreasing the sugar and adding more cocoa powder. other than that, its an ok frosting. very smooth and doesnt crack. the taste is just off to me though.

This is a fantastic recipe! Very rich and super easy when you use your hand mixer. I used my kitchenaid and it came out perfect with no lumps. My husband told me to never buy the tubs of frosting again!

Great chocolate frosting recipe. My fussy husband couldn't resist licking the bowl clean. Like other reviewers - I didn't put in as much sugar as the recipe called for. I did think it was chocolaty enough, so I didn't add more cocoa like other people did, but I did put it on a chocolate cake so that may have helped.

Mmmmm... Reminds me of grade-school cafeteria frosting! (yes, that's a compliment!) I upped the cocoa a bit and added less sugar as recommended. Also beat with my mixer to eliminate lumps. Perfection!

I made this with the four egg yellow cake for my birthday and it was perfect. Smooth and shiny, the perfect amount of sweetness and chocolate-iness! I will definitely use this anytime I need a chocolate frosting!

delicious!! I followed recomendations to add more coaco and less sugar, it seemed a little thick before I even started adding the sugar so I added about 1/4 cup extra milk. the consistency was great for spreading and it set really good.
