Very easy to make. I used a powdered hot cocoa mix because I didn't have any regular cocoa. Very yummy taste and not too sweet and didn't taste too much like confectioner's sugar like some frostings do. I will make this a staple recipe for desserts.

I just made this frosting to top the "chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes found on this site. Its football Sunday and these were perfect together. I wanted a frosting that wasn't to sweet. This was perfect. Will definatly use it again!!

I didn't have any unsweetened cocoa, so I just used regular cocoa and lessened the amount of confectioner's sugar, but it turned out Deeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious, at least from a die-hard chocoholic's point of view. Fast and easy to make. Yum!

This is sooooo EXCELLENT! I usually come on the site for recipies but never leave reviews. I just HAD to leave a review for this frosting. I am truly amazed at how wonderful it came out. I actually doubled the recipe so I'd have enough to spread thickly on a cake. I added a tad bit more butter-but only because I do that with all recipies lol. Tastes great and this is definitely added to my favs.

Yum. I liked this one. I halved the recipe since I only needed a very small amount. I also added a tiny amount of vanilla just because I like the stuff. It was so good, couldn't help myself and ate some on a strawberry.

Super easy and super YUMMY!! I didn't have any powdered sugar - so I just used regular and stirred the heck out of it - PERFECT! Plus I added some vanilla and omitted the salt. I frosted a chocolate/cherry dump cake for my hubby's birthday.....YUM! :)

MmmmmmmMMmMMmmmMMMm This was my first ever attempt at scratch frosting. This was sooooooo good and easy. My son needed a bath after licking the beaters, spoon and bowl clean! No more tub frosting for us!!

This icing tastes almost exactly like the store-bought icing. A little bit more bitter, but otherwise the same. An excellent chocolate icing for cakes!

This worked pretty well for my cake, my son liked it but my husband said it was too bitter-sweet. I liked how easy it was.

This was very good frosting! I used it to frost the Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake II SUBMITTED BY: Cathy. I did need to use 2 cups of powdered sugar and I used brewed coffee instead of the water to make it less sweet as my cake was a dark chocolate flavor. It also "crusts" up nice so it would be easy to decorate. Other reviews said it didn't make enough for a 9 X 13 cake but the cake I made was only 11 X 7 so I had plenty. Good thing since I ate a tablespoon or two of it before I got it on the cake!!! Checking to see if it was missing anything of course!! Thank you for a great recipe.

I used boiling milk as suggested by another reviewer and also added 1 1/2 tsp. Benedictine brandy. As I was frosting Banana Cocoa Bars found elsewhere on Allrecipes I found the amount to be just enough, but if I were using the recipe for a layer cake it would definitely not be enough. I really liked the dark chocolate taste, though and thought it complemented the bars nicely.

This frosting was very yummy!!! The taste deserves a five but overall it earns a four. The frosting was very pretty and glossy but it took a while to get it to the right consistency. It took way more sugar than called for to make it perfect. I also added just a little bit of vanilla flavoring. Very yummy with chocolate cupcakes. I will never buy frosting from the store again. Thanks for sharing.
