I love this frosting. You can do it all in the microwave - makes it so easy. (put the chocolate, water, and butter in a microwave proof bowl - melt, then add vanilla & sugar - stir quickly). Also - using margarine - it becomes a dairy free frosting!

This was exactly what I was looking for: simple buttercream-style frosting that I can make without a lot of fussy ingredients. But, beware that there's little to hide an off-taste chocolate or butter. I only had sweetened chocolate, so I reduced the sugar to 1 cup, and I used milk instead water as I prefer the taste. If your frosting starts to stiffen while spreading, beat in more liquid a little at a time until you achieve the desired consistency.

this was very good. I was a little confused with how much chocolate to use and i don't think i put enough in. Other than that this is an excellent recipe!

I really loved this frosting. The sour cream made it nice and creamy and not too sweet. What I did not realize is I never added the water. It does not need it. I would give this 4 1/2 stars.

Terrible - the sugar completely dries up the chocolate mixture so that it is all nothing but powder and can't be blended no matter how much it is heated. I had to throw the whole batch out. Waste of ingredients.

I like this recipe a lot, it reminds me of the tub frosting you'd by at the grocery. I like the fact it hardens quickly yet it's still creamy at the same time. Thanks for sharing this, I'll use it often.
