chocolate frosting

I was looking in the kitchen drawers today and found some recipes written on scraps of paper. They're kind of random, but I wanted to post them here in my virtual cookbook. :-)

Chocolate Frosting

(from the Hershey's website)

1/2 cup butter
2/3 cup Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Warm butter until melted, but not hot. In medium mixing bowl, stir together melted butter and cocoa powder until well mixed. Alternately add a portion of the powdered sugar and mix, then a little of the milk, and mix; until all sugar and milk are gone. Add vanilla extract and stir well. Makes about 2 cups frosting (enough for one two-layer cake, or two single-layer cakes, or two trays of cupcakes, or one tray of cupcakes and one single-layer cake). :-)

God bless,
