It seemed more like a glaze to me, not an icing. And it was WAY too sweet! Doubt I'll be making this again.

I was very disappointed with this recipe. I expect an icing to be pourable and although others said it set up quickly, I expected it to do that when I poured it over the cake. It is not that consisitency at all and I will not be making this one again.

This icing is perfect to use with a pound cake... such as the marble pound cake found on this web site. Perfect!

Many of these comments are right on. There is not really enough icing to make a cake, it is not chocolaty enough, and it sets quickly. I would not use it for a cake (though if you were fast enough, I think it would be good). I used it to ice some pumpkin cookies (it would also be good for iced doughnuts). I made the following modifications. Instead of some of the milk I added creme de cocoa (liquor), cayenne pepper (the aztecs were geniuses with chocolate), some pepper (it played well with the pumpkin cookies, and honey instead of sugar (mmmm...honey). It turned out well. Was relatively happy.

This is really good! I read most of the reviews, so I added 1 tbsp each of cocoa and milk. And, I worked really fast. I love this site! Thanks everybody!

Fantastic... the only change I would make is to double it.. I was just able to cover a sheet cake.. so if I used this for cupcakes as originally planned I would have run short. Great flavor!!

You could eat this chocolate right out of the pot ! Will definitely make again- I used 4 tablespoons of milk and poured it over the cake .

So...if you drop in a handful of semi-sweet choc chips and follow the rest o the recipe, you will have made fudge. I kept the milk out and kept adding a splash, mixing furiously, add another splash, mix like hell... and another splash- ok now I have icing. But I was too chicken to ruin my gorgeous black forest cake so I only iced one half. The rest of the icing went into a small container. Whatever clung to the spoon went into my belly! (With a sprinkle of kosher salt. it's a sickness...)

This recipe didn't at all taste like chocolate icing to me, I think it probably needs more cocoa and less brown sugar and butter. I probably won't make it again.

First the positives- the icing did taste good and was a nice compliment to the yellow cake I made. I did, however, give it a low rating for several reasons. First, the name is deceiving- it does have a hint of chocolate taste to it, but it's far closer to caramel. Additionally, the recipe needs to be instantly doubled to actually cover a cake (round or sheet). Finally, it is wildy difficult to ice a cake with- you have to have it nearly harden before you can even work with it. The consistency was close to that of a soup when I finished making it. Safe to say this is best used on brownies- skip it for a cake.

Tasted like chocolate not icing, it was very hard to spread and i don't think it made enough for an entire cake.

Perfect on the "Deep Dish Brownies" on this site. Fudgy-like. It firmed up fairly quickly, therefore made it easy to spread, and not drip off the brownies. I actually found myself scooping up spoonfuls of it up, and eating it. Sinfully good!

I really was not fond of this recipe at all. I followed the recipe, but my icing did not taste chocolatey in any way. It tasted more like a very sweet maple icing.
