i love the taste and texture of this icing. Perfect for my lava / mudcake. I like my icing oozing, and this was perfect. Only problem was its consistency. I know there must be a work around on this one but I don't know how or what it is. When I poured it onto my cake, it was great, then it sank into my cake and like the other member have said, my cake became soggy. I don't know if I have to "cook" it for a longer period of time or I have to let it sit for awhile and cook it again. The latter amount of the mixture sat well on the cake.

Ok, first let me say my review is not totally accurate, as I did not have choc chips on hand. However, I did add ddark cocoa and butter, and came out with a wonderful thin glaze, which was exactly what I wanted. I drizzled it over the Wellesley Cake (w/o provided icing!) and it soaked in to make a super-sweet super-chocolatey treat!

This was probably the easiest frosting I have ever made. Decadently rich and sweet, which I enjoy every once in a while. The only change I made was to use a couple tablespoons of cocoa since I didn't have any baking chocolate on hand.

Just a note to those who think it's too thin - you have to stir it for a long time (10 minutes or so) to get it to thicken, but it's worth it. I burned my mouth several times tasting it before it cooled. I used it on a Crazy Cake for a butter-free, egg-free treat and it was amazing.

I have nothing but praises for this one! There are 2 (1 picky and 1 not picky) chocolate lovers in my household. They both loved it. Unfortunately I used it to coat doughnut holes and it didn't work as well as I thought. It lived up to it's name though - gooey. The best part is that I no longer need to buy chocolate frosting as I can now confidently use this recipe over and over again. I used the tips listed under the recipe - lifesaver. I doubled everything except the milk and it worked out perfectly.

While this "frosting" had a nice taste, not being too sweet like other sugar based frostings, I would not classify this as a "frosting" at all. This is more like a sauce (and not even a glaze). My cake tastes good, but it's now soaked. I would consider making some significant adjustments to the quanitities of ingredients used if you're hoping for something thicker (like no water and doubling the chocolate). Chilling overnight before using made little difference.

I did not like this recipe, I thought it was a lot of hassle and it came out thin and bitter.

This recipe is amazing. I justused four unsweetened chocolate squares and doubled every ingredient, except the the sweetened condensed milk. It was thick and tasted delicious. The texture was similar to icing you can buy by pillsubury or Duncan Hines, but tastes delicious.
