I love this frosting; I've used it numerous times, and everyone in the house loves it. Since not everyone in the house likes chocolate cake, I have to make extra of this frosting for people to eat with other desserts. It is very sauce-like and fudgy, but when used for cupcakes, it works really well. I add sugar to this icing. I also will add chocolate chips (after it cools) on top of cupcakes and cake with this frosting. Thanks for this awesome recipe!

This chocolate icing is amazing! I always burn chocolate so I cooked it in a double-boiler. I cooked it for 12 minutes after the chocolate was completely melted and added a pinch of ground coffee beans to really bring out the chocolate flavor. The texture is not really thick like a store bought icing but it is not runny like a glaze. I do not know if I would use it for cupcakes, but it works great for cakes.

It was good. I didn't have any powdered sugar, so it was exactly what I was looking for. I cooked it to long and had a few sugar crystals in it.

excuse me to those who are disapointed in this recipe "expecting" it to be thick but how can you look at that picture and think that would be good for a cake. how can you think it looks thick. : / ....... it looks like it would be good for fruit tho. :)

Thick, delicious, quick and easy. I love this frosting. I used fat free sweetened condensed milk and it was lovely. Thank you.

Very quick and easy icing for when there is no chocolate frosting on hand. I used Hershey's milk chocolate chips instead of baking squares and the final product tasted great.

The first time I made this, I added a stick of butter because I was afraid it would be too runny like everyone else's. I added an extra ounce or 2 (don't remember) of chocolate. I let it cool completely before spreading it over the cake and it was perfect, just as frosting should be! And OMG it tasted HEAVENLY. I tried to stay more to the original recipe recently by adding less butter, but it wasn't as good and was more runny. To add the butter, I chopped it up into small pieces and melted it little by little into the pot after the chocolate. I'm sure it's very unhealthy but who cares, it taste like the ambrosia of the gods that way.
