1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 c. butter, softened
2 c. sifted confectioners sugar
5 tbsp. milk
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

Melt chocolate chips over hot water; stir until smooth. Set aside; cool 15 minutes. In large bowl, beat butter until creamy. Gradually add confectioners sugar alternately with milk. Add melted chocolate and vanilla; beat until smooth. Makes enough to frost a two-layer cake.
