Easy Penuche Icing

Debbie Smith's Note:

This recipe comes from an old version of the Betty Crocker Cookbook that my mother got when she first married. It is wonderful addition to any chocolate cake. Enough for 2 - 8" or 9" layers or 1 - 13x9" oblong cake.

The icing finishes very nicely, but it is too sweet!
