This was just okay. Too sweet for me, and I have a serious sweet tooth. I would only make it again in an emergency, and then I think I would add another square of chocolate.

This is great for frosting a small pan of brownies, which is what I did. It is rather sweet, so next time I might add an extra square of chocolate. Overall it'a a good basic chocolate frosting!

I found the recipe easy but the flavor and texture were not as I had hoped for. I won't be making this recipe again.

I thought this frosting was just OK. It was very easy to make which is a plus but it set very quickly and became very hard. I guess I prefer a creamier frosting. Maybe I should have added even more water. I also thought the taste veered towards sugary sweet rather than chocolatey. I would make it again in a pinch but wouldn't be my go to frosting.

This recipe was easy and yummy, although I doubled the recipe and I had to add a bit more liquid. I also substituted 1/2 the amount of water with lukewarm coffee that I had already made for the One Bowl Chocolate Cake 3 that I made this for. YUM!

this is an amazing recipe..very rich. if you find it hardening,just stir it and it will once again be easy to work with. i found it was a little thin and that i had to add more sugar, but overall the recipe was easy and delicious

This is a fabulous, yummy frosting that works very well on cupcakes. After I allowed the cupcakes to cool, I dipped them top-first right into the frosting. Perfect!

Very good! I doubled this for a 13 inch cake. Melted the butter and chocolate in the microwave without a problem. Had a bit of a consistency issue so added 4 heaping tablespoons cocoa powder and 3 heaping tablespoons confectioners' sugar and it turned out well! Very rich.

I took this recipe up to 9 servings this time because last time I needed a bit more for my tube cake. It is by far the best chocolate frosting I've ever made. I put it on a Mohawk Milk cake (recipe on site) and people went nuts!

I sifted the powdered sugar first since I've previously used unsifted sugar and couldn't get the lumps out. I needed less than the 1/4 cup of water to get the right consistance for my tube pan cake. The icing has a shiny look and a fabulous taste. This will be my new favorite chocolate frosting! If you're making a layer cake I would double the recipe.

Be careful. I got it to the consistency I wanted which was not too runny but a little fluffy, and I was quick to put it on the cake but it was setting before I could finish icing the cake, which meant it stuck to the knife and my fingers and not the cake.

really tasty although I would recommend following the directions on the recipe. I tried to make it using the microwave to melt everything but it turned out to be more difficult. I added a bit of cocoa powder and cream of tartar to make it taste richer and to let it stiffen up a bit. Overall a really delicious frosting!
