EXCELLENT. I put it on brownies and it was perfect. I've made many choc. frosting but this is by far the best. It doesn't make that much, but this is the only choc. frosting I'll ever make. DELICIOUS!

I chose this recipe because I was out of milk. I can't say I was expecting it to be very good but luckily I was wrong and it is actually a really good and simple recipe. The only change I make was adding a little vanilla and a sprinkle of brown sugar to the mix to give it a little more flavour.

This frosting is so easy and tastes great! It whips up so light and fluffy using the whip attachment on the mixer. It isn't too sweet and complements any cake. Try it, I think you will like it!

I knew when I read the ingredients this was the recipe for me. Frosting does not have to be sickening sweet to be good. My kids loved it on a basic yellow cake (from scratch of course)!

This recipe was absolutely phenomenal. I was making a cake for my best friend's birthday and it was kind of late at night and I had no icing. So I looked on here for something easy with few ingredients, and I found this. So happy that I did. I must point out, however, that it is VERY import to use real stick butter. The second time I made it with my boyfriend, it was watery because I used tub margarine. Also, this afternoon I used the recipe to make truffles. I decreased the amount of water to about 2 tbs. rather than 3, and didn't use the full 1 1/2 cup of powder sugar. The mix was thicker so I made drops and put them on wax paper on a pan in the freezer, and after an hour they were perfect. Sprinkle with cocoa powder and powdered sugar. Bravo.

Oh my gosh! This recipe is so good! I used it for a grooms cake and got rave reviews. You need to double it to cover a 2 layer 8-inch round.

I loved how easy this frosting was. I used it on brownies and would say the flavor was decent, nothing too exciting. But you figure when something is that easy how extravagant can it taste? I'll probably use this for "around the house" but if baking for others I would opt for something more flavorful.

I chose this frosting recipe because I was out of vanilla of all things. The only change I made was to use margarine instead of butter and it still came out wonderful.

This wasn't at all what I was looking for-- it was a thick chocolate mess almost like ganache but not as smooth or sweet. I had to add twice as much sugar, a tablespoon of milk and a teaspoon of vanilla to make it usable. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because I'm sure there are other people who are looking for a very unsweet, straight chocolate icing. I just made a bad recipe choice based on the simple ingredient list and directions. (I was looking for "vanilla-chocolate powdered sugar frosting", which I HIGHLY recommend) I MIGHT use this one SPARINGLY (spread thinly) either between cookie sandwiches or on top of them but never on a cake.

The frosting has a Great texture. It has a good Chocolately taste that isn't overwhelming! It complimented the cake I made well. I made a 9x9 Cherry chocolate cake and 1 batch made enough to cover the whole thing. Any bigger and you would have to double it!!

An excellent buttercream. I cut some of the sugar, and used whole milk vanilla yogurt in place of the water until the desired texture and taste was achieved.

This frosting was wonderful! I had no problems with the recipe at all it turned out perfect, very sweet and chocolatey. I had enough to spread a nice layer over the top of a 9x13in cake.
