2 oz. chocolate, finely cut
1 1/2 c. sugar
7 tbsp. milk
2 tbsp. Crisco
2 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. corn syrup
1/4 tsp. salt

Place ingredients in saucepan. Bring slowly to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly, and boil briskly 1 minute. Cool to lukewarm. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and beat until thick enough to spread. If frosting becomes too thick, add a little milk or soften over hot water.
