I've used this to coincide with a PAC 2009 adopted recipe (fudge Brownies). MMMMMMMMMM. The frosting has a lovely sheen to it and is so chocolatey!! Heaven. Thanks.

Excellent frosting recipe, not too sweet and a great consistency! I made this in a double boiler as I am always a wreck about burning chocolate. No need to do this though, I think it would have been just fine and probably much easier to just do this in a pan. It turned out delicious and spread very nicely. Thanks for posting! Made for Aussie Swap :)
