INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 pound confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup milk

What to Drink?
Wine Port
Hot Non-Alcoholic Coffee

DIRECTIONS

  1. Melt chocolate and butter in the microwave, or in the top of a double boiler. In a large bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, vanilla and 1/2 cup of the milk. Blend in the melted chocolate mixture. Add remaining milk, a little at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.
  2. Let stand until spreadable (frosting will thicken as it cools).
