very good icing! I used a little less sugar than it called for and a bit more milk and it was just enough to frost a two layer 9inch cake ( not filled though) A great basic recipe to have on hand!

i did what one reviewer recommended and blended everything together using extremely soft butter. this way the frosting had a "melty" texture when eaten. i also found that it wasn't chocolate-y enough for the brownies i was making, so i had to add more cocoa. i do, however, like that this is a "no-cook" recipe that is fairly easy to execute. and no, don't try to ice a cake with this. it's a forgiving recipe, but it's definitely meant more for brownies and the like. in all, tasty and easy frosting.

Very nice and easy recipe. My teenage daughters took a professional cake decorating class, and made this to go with some cupcakes. Yum!

I followed the recipe exactly. I did have to add about a tablespoon more milk. It resembled play dough. The taste needed more coco. I will only make this again if I have very little time and need a quick frosting that will be eaten immediately and not have time to sit and harden.

This recipe is quick and easy, tastes WONDERFUL and is not overly sweet. It frosted 24 cupcakes generously. At one point, as I am slow, it hardened a bit, but I just beat it again with a little more milk and it came back to easy spreading. YUM!
