I thought I ruined this because it would never set up. It was very saucy after boiling and stirring it. Then, I just left it on the counter for a half hour then put it in the fridge to cool. It came out perfectly! Not too thick or thin and it tastes delicious! -
Although this had a good chocolate taste, that is about the only positive thing I can say about the recipe. It never thickened for me; even after following these directions and letting it cool, I tried reheating it and adding 2 Tbsp of cornstarch. Didn't work. I had a chocolate SAUCE, not the frosting that I needed! And when cooled it had a slight grainy texture, like the sugar never dissolved properly. I don't understand why others who have reviewed this had no problem?! My one idea is that the "sugar" called for should have been confectioner's sugar. But any cook knows that they are not one and the same and should be specified!! Could someone let me know what went wrong? -
I would like to double-check the ingredients before I make this frosting. It calls for 2 different butter ingredients instead of 1. Otherwise sounds wonderful. -
ALL I CAN SAY IS YUMMMMM!!!!!!!!!! TY -
This is one of my favourite chocolate frostings! If it makes it to the cake before I have it ALL, I think it's lucky;) Truly sinful and yummilicious!

The little cutie here is Martha, the sweet lady I was blessed to have worked with for two years. Martha passed away on 12/3/08. Martha and I would ride endlessly during the holidays, and she would sing carols and laugh and just enjoy it so much. I know this holiday season, she will be with her brother, son and mother and finally be "home". Martha, I still love you more.

I'm a simple girl, born of good stock. I'm the mamma of two spoiled tuxedo cats: Beauregard and Patches (the one who's been drinking eggnog). They love cuddling together, and this picture is taken on my hall steps.
I'm a firm believer in LOA. I need to get more dedicated to daily practice. Below is a film that explains it, and is wonderful. I highly recommend it.

This is Beau enjoying his computer. He's quite good at deleting messages, making the desktop disappear (as is his brother). Their path to the window is over my keyboard.

This is Patches, planning his strategy to keep me awake, but cuddling his sock baby and trying to be cute to throw me off.

I'm trying to figure out my new rating system. As of 10/1/06, this is how I'll rate recipes. I will be changing some previous reviews.
5*~~Outstanding recipe--the best of the best here.
4*~~Something I find delicious; will make often; would serve to guests.
3*~~Something I might fix again; enjoyed; needed something added before I try again
2*~~Something I could finish, but would never try again, regardless of additions or subtractions
1*~~Could not finish it; would not even make possums suffer with this (I haven't found many of these--only one of my own that I grabbed from the internet!!)
