This recipe was excellent - I added a few semi-sweet chocolate chips to tbe melted butter and sugar mixture while still warm, and it turned out rich, velvety and chocolatey! I kept the icing in the saucepan while spreading it on the cake, so that when it began to set somewhat, I would just warm it up on minimum heat with a bit more milk and I could continue to work with it. A total hit and a keeper of a recipe!

Like the taste, but it does set up VERY fast - next time I would follow the suggestion to make it in to batches, it was very difficult to work with. I'd also cut back on the vanilla just a touch, but perhaps it didn't mix well in to it because it was already setting up. Will try it again though.

Just found out you have to take a dessert somewhere in an hour. No problem, pop a box mix in the oven and make this icing. You'll get rave reviews!!! It does set up VERY fast, but if you don't cool your cake all the way, you have a little more time. I real keeper in my book!

SO GOOD!!! It needed tweaking for my 2 layer 9 inch cake. If you follow the directions it is VERY thick and hard for icing a cake but great for brownies. For the cake I used 3 Tbsp of milk and 2 tbsp cocoa for a single batch. Because it sets up so quickly I made 2 seperate double batches, one for the middle of the cake using the original thick recipe, frosted it, then made the second double batch tweaked for spreadability for the outside of the cake. It is glorious... and I don't even like chocolate!

This was simply wonderful!! I had to add a little bit of milk to thin it a little because of the thickness but it was great! My sister (BasketballRox2471) made this for her first batch of brownies....DELICIOUS!!!

One person said that it was too rich well it says "Rich chocolate fudge icing." So if you do not like sweet things then it is not for you. I REALLY LIKE THIS RECIPE.I put the icing on brownies! It is REALLY good.

OH MY Heaven in a bowl. Got great reviews for my cupcakes this year. Enough for 24 cupcakes, but the only this is it hardens fast, so you have to sprinkle sprinkles on each individual cake when done icing if you want to get them to stick. I even licked the bowl after I was done. Will be my ONLY icing recipe I will use.

The icing was very thick, even after i added an extra teaspoon of milk. Definatly look like and has the consistancy of fudge. Taste was not as chocolatey as one would think. Not the best chocolate icing I've had, would reccomend looking for another recipe before trying this one. 3 out of 5 stars.

Good and easy to make. This recipe worked well for me. I did add more cocoa, 2 tbsp more, than the recipe asked for. It is excellent for brownies, it does set very quickly.

This a very good icing and easy to make. I added 1 tbsp of cocoa and spread it over warm cake. It was easy to spread and I put pecans on top. My family loved it. I will make it again.

Icing Too sweet. Sets too fast, you don't even have time to ice the sides before the icing starts to pull the cake apart. Will Never use this recipe again.

Oh my gosh, it was like fudge! I added teh ch chips as suggested. It was a little tricky to work with but worth the effort. I will make again. Might be easier to frost cookies or brownies. Soooo good!

This was excellent! I did as a few of the others did and added 1/2 c semisweet choc chips to the butter and brown sugar mixture (after the sugar melts and you add the milk) and added an additional 1 T cocoa. FYI, icing is best for brownies, cookies and SHEET cakes, as was stated by the submitter of the recipe, for layer cakes, frostings are better. However if you are looking for a true icing that will wow the most sage chocolate fan...this one is IT!

This was a great frosting! I did not have cocoa powder, so I used 1/2 oz. unsweetened chocolate, and melted it in with the butter/sugar mixture, along with 1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips. I did not let it boil, b/c of the addition of the chocolate, but it turned out really yummy. Thanks!
