Absolutely the best! I've been looking for a good chocolate buttercream recipe for years and this is it! I followed the recipe exactly and I used Sanders Milk Chocolate Fudge Topping - to die for!!!

A very excellent chocolate buttercream frosting! I use Hershey's Hot Fudge Topping. You must use the thick fudge topping, not the chocolate syrup, in order to achieve the great frosting this recipe produces. This is now my favorite chocolate frosting!

This was not the frosting I expected. It was lighter in color than I wanted and it tasted like hot cocoa. I made it for a devils food cake and wasn't impressed with the flavor. It was also a little runny with two tablespoons of milk. If you make this frosting you may want to add some melted chocolate and add the milk after you mix in the topping, that way you can get the proper consistency.

This is fabulous! Creamy, smooth and very tasty. Not too sweet, not too bitter. Excellent! I used this on the Best Foods Mayonnaise chocolate cake recipe. Good stuff! I will use this recipe from now on. FYI- I used Smuckers hot fudge, half-n-half instead of milk, margarine instead of butter, and butter flavored shortening.

I substituted 1/2 T half & half for the milk, and used about 2/3C of Nutella instead of the fudge for the most amazing chocolate hazelnut buttercream EVER. Really. It's not overly sweet, just perfect. Great texture, too.

I read the other reviews and took into consideration some said it tasted "bitter", I added a little salt (as was told to do when working with chocolate, from my husband's aunt). Rave reviews from Birthday goers where I served the cake.

Be very careful with this recipe. I could not find any "hot fudge" sauce at the store, so I bought Hershey's chocolate sauce instead, and the icing turned out horribly. The taste of the syrup was too strong (and they syrup, I've found, is awful itself) and the icing far too runny and difficult to work with. Make sure you use a proper fudge sauce, or you'll end up like I did.

Very easy to make and I loved the consistency. I used Smuckers fudge. The only thing I didn't care for was that the frosting had a slight bitterness to it. Anyone else notice this?

Excellent Frosting, very creamy. However...I omitted the fudge toppping (I did not have any on hand). It turned out very well.

You absolutely must make this frosting! It is one of the most scrumptious chocolate frostings I've ever tasted in my life, and I've never been a big fan of buttercream frosting. I frosted a yellow cake with it, and everyone devoured it. Fudgy, rich, and delicious.

OH MY!! This frosting was soooo good... I hate frosting but I ate this by the spoonfuls!! My only big mistake was not softening the butter before mixing and that caused it to be too lumpy, but even after that mistake it was still delectable!! Thanks for sharing!!

Awsome! I loved the combination of the fudge and the buttercream; it is rich, but it is suposed to be. My kids and I are self avowed Chocoholics and we could have eaten it all plain in one sitting.

We used Hershey's hot fudge topping (and I usually prefer Smuckers) and the taste of the hot fudge was very noticeable. Needless to say, I didn't care for this recipe because of that. However, I think I might try this again with Smuckers. Also, I put in 3 tbs. of milk, and it was way too runny. So be careful with the amount of milk you put in! THe frosting was very creamy and smooth though. And it didn't dry up all hard like the Hershey's recipe for chocolate frosting.

WOW!! I normally hate frosting but this was just amazing. I'd make this without a cake--creamy and chocolately and oh-so-good. Easy to make and can be done while your cake is baking. Definitely try it out.

I made this with a cakeish type brownie recipe and everyone freaked out over it. My neighbor wouldn't even share with her kids and she normally doesn't keep anything for herself.

Excellent frosting! Very Sweet and creamy. Spreads easily. If you have a very sweet tooth and love chocolate this is the frosting for you.
