  1. Tastes great, holds up when piped....and NO SHORTENING!! It's a keeper
     
  2. Decadent and easy! I used this on my sons birthday cake and it got rave reviews. I was thinking that you could replace the semi-sweet chips with milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, butterscotch or peanut butter chips to make other awesome flavors or this icing.
     
  3. Reminds me of my grandmothers icing - the ultimate compliment!
     
  4. Very good! I halved the recipe and it made more than enough for a 2 layer cake.
     
  5. Loved it!!! This is great frosting, I made it to frost Billy's Vanilla Vanilla Cupcakes recipe #167665 and it was delicious. I halved the recipe and it frosted 24 cupcakes. Thanks for the great recipe.
