I didn't like this too much. I tasted too much like powdered sugar. I added about 6 oz. of cream cheese though, and that made it pretty good. I used it on a cake that I made the egg white receipe for, and colored for my cousin's Birthday. It did turn out good as a chocolate cream cheese frosting!

This was good and easy. I didn't heat it on the stove. I took another reviewer's suggestions and just let my butter get soft and then mixed everything together. I reduced the sugar to 3 cups and increased the cocoa to 1/3 cup. When I make again, I will increase cocoa to 1/2 cup.

This is an okay recipe. I did follow the directions, and I know it turned out right~ but it wasn't my favorite recipe. I wouldn't recommend this recipe and I wouldn't say it was bad, but to much sweetness for me.

I just realized that I was supposed to do the mixing in the saucepan on the stove! I didn't do that - I microwaved the butter and then mixed it all in a bowl. And it's really good, except it's a bit too vanilla-flavoured. I used a hair under a tablespoon (ran out) but would probably use 2 tsp next time and see how that works.

I really didn't get the flavor of this frosting. Mine tasted so strongly of vanilla. I would recommend using less. I ended up adding some melted chocolate to mask the vanilla flavor. The consistency was great, with the addition of extra milk, and it spread easily. But maybe start with a tsp. of vanilla, and add to taste before putting in the whole TBSP.

Used 3 cups of powdered sugar and about a small amount more of cocoa then it calls for. Also added about 1 T of freshly brewed coffee. Very good on brownies!

I had to use more milk...and I used whipping cream instead of the milk for an even creamier taste! Oh, and I only used 1.5 tsp of vanilla.

I was somewhat apprehensive after reading some of the reviews. This frosting is wonderful! I followed the directions exactly by adding the milk 1 tsp at a time and mixing after each. At first I thought I had done something wrong however by the time I added the 5th tsp of milk the recipe finally started turning into a frosting consistency. My other suggestion is to use a deep bowl. Mixing the p. sugar and cocoa mixture together is messy if using a mixer. The flavor is excellent!

This recipe was a disappointment for me. It was more work than worth it. Be forewarned, you are working with chocolate dough. It was an understatement to call it thick. Wheew. I worked up a muscle, and I didn't even use all the powdered sugar. The electric mixer was preoccupied. I would definitely use the mixer if I was to make a dough. Also, I wouldn't make this again next time. I love fudge on my ice cream but I guess I don't care for regular fudge you eat with your hands. It tasted like fudge but I just didn't care for the taste. Seemed too sweet for me, and, like I said above, I didn't even use all the powdered sugar. I guess I would just like it slightly darker and more chocolatey. I think I'll try to find another recipe on this site. I also gave it more credit because my friend liked it.

This was okay. My family liked it, but I personally found the taste of the powdered sugar overwhelming. I wouldn't call it "fudgey" at all.

Absolutely wonderful and fudgy. I followed the directions exactly and this is the best chocolate frosting I've ever had. I make cakes professionally and got a lot of compliments on this recipe. It was easy to work with and was not gooey at all. The trick is to add the milk a teaspoon at a time like the directions say. THE BEST recipe on the internet!!

THIS IS IT!!!!!! This tastes really REALLY good!!!The only thing was I didn't use the full 3 1/2 cups of confectioners sugar. I kept pouring a little at a time and mixing it with just a 1/2 tablespoon and got the constistency that I wanted.So I'd say I used only about 2 to 2 1/2 cups. It's really tasty :):):) I'll be using this frosting for all my recipes that call for chocolate frosting.
