Try the frosting that goes on a Texas sheet cake. It tastes just like fudge & hardens at room temp.
1/3 c. milk
4 T. cocoa
1 stick butter
melt in sauce pan, then add
1 lb. powdered sugar
1 t. vanilla
spread over cake while still warm (frosting)
let set til cool

Oops, forgot to add that you need to stir until lumps are gone. :o)

yummy, Linda! thanks for the recipe! I'm going to try this! :-)

In a bowl, in the microwave, melt 12 ounces of chocolate chips with a tablespoon of oil for about 1-2 minutes or until the chips are melted. Stir in powdered sugar until it is the right consistency-not much, or it will be too thick. This makes a very rich frosting.

Fast, easy, rich frosting

I don't know if this is the "ultimate", but my fam likes it:

Melt 1 stick butter. Add 2/3 C. Hersheys Cocoa stirring. Add alternately, 3 C. powdered sugar and 1/3 C. Coffee. (if you are going to pipe through a decorater bag, sift the sugar) Beat. Add vanilla, almond or orange flavoring to taste while beating. If too thick, add coffee a few drops at a time.

My family fights over who's gunna lick the bowl (and they're all grown-ups lol) ; )

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup margarine or shortening
1/4 cup milk
dash of salt
heat above on stove in nonstick pan. Bring to boil and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add
1 tsp vanilla and 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I use half semi-sweet and half milk chocolate). Stir until chips melt and it starts to get thick. spread on cake.
