This recipes is an absolute winner! I really liked the fact that it uses no Icing Sugar.And its really easy to make!! AND it turns out really rich and delicious!! I thought the sugar was too much so used ony 1/2 cup of sugar. After reading people's comments that the fudge turned out grainy I used Castor Sugar i.e. Superfine sugar and it turned out FABULOUS! Thank you!

I didn't think this was anytrhing special and the writer left out some steps about making sure the sugar was melted prior to boiling.

This is a really good icing...if you are limited on ingredients. It turned out a little grainy but tasted like chocolate fudge. I used it on peanut butter brownies. Turned out good. I would recommend it if you dont have confectioner's sugar on hand!

it was really yummy I did let it cool completly but it was on the runny side. I am sure it wasnt the recipe I must have added too much liquid or somthing. it was very creamy. I used it on cupcakes and dipped the tops in so it worked great as a glaze. will try again my family loved it.

Very easy... make sure your sugar is dissolved prior to boiling for one to two min. keep beating as it cools occasionally. I used a little extra vanilla and let it cool completely. Patience is key.

If you don't have confectioner's sugar on hand, this is a good icing. Best of all, it is almost identical to my Grandmother's recipe. Mix sugar & cocoa first. Most important is to DISSOLVE sugar in mixture, before heating. Cook slowly to a rolling boil. This icing is ideal to pour on a hot cake in a casserole dish.

Great recipe! I agree with other reviewer, key is to disolve sugar on low then turn it to medium heat. I've made it twice this week with the Gob cake!

Worked out why this icing turned out grainy for me. It's essential that all the sugar is dissolved BEFORE it comes to the boil, so keep on a low heat then when sugar's all gone increase heat to medium. Hope this helps.

Easy to make, Wonderful taste. I doubled the recipe and it still came out perfect. Of course, this gave me leftover icing to pour over ice cream later. This is a thin icing.

Perhaps I did this wrong, but the icing quickly became grainy and stiff. not spreadable at all.

The key is letting it completely cool. THEN it will be creamy. You can use it before as a drizzle. I used butter instead of shortening. Seemed healthier (if there could be such a thing as a 'healthy' frosting).

I really like this recipe as it tasty & requires no butter or margarine. It's definitely not a fluffy buttercream though, so don't expect that. I used this on brownies and it spread very well. I used rice dream in lieu of milk. Had all ingredients in pan on the stove, combined and melted until brownies were removed from oven. Brought to a full rolling boil and started the 2 minute count. Will use again and add a little more salt.

Tasted fine, I am not sure what I did wrong but mine turned out runny. Will try again I am sure with practice this could be a family favorite.

this icing tastes pretty good! It would make a good icing to drizzle over a bunt cake while still warm- maybe not a good frosting for a layer cake. Dries smooth and glossy

DO NOT MAKE THIS RECIPE! IT IS HORRIBLE FOR LAYER CAKES AND REALLY BAD FOR SHEET CAKES! IT MIGHT WORK WELL FOR A GLAZE, BUT AS IT COOLS THE GRAINS OF SUGAR BEGIN TO SHAPE AGAIN, MAKING IT GRITTY AND UN-SMOOTH. I DO NOT RECOMEND MAKING THIS BECAUSE IT WAS EXTREMLY DIFFICULT TO SPREAD!
