It was perfect with two sticks of butter - extra butter took the sharp edge off.

I had to change the proportions a bit for what I had--a little more butter and cocoa, a little less milk and sugar and half of the latter was granulated. I also added some almond extract. It was very quick and easy, the texture was great, and needless to say it was very tasty. Thanks!

I loved the recipe except I put one whole cup cocoa and two sticks of butter. It is very rich and creamy. This frosting is for chocolate lovers!

Delicious frosting... BUT it is not dark chocolate, it is milk chocolate. If you want true dark chocolate, look elsewhere, it is a wonderful milk chocolate recipe!

Delicious frosting! I recommend using heavy whipping cream instead of milk, it makes the frosting fluffier and thicker, but definitely use 6 tbsp of the whipping cream :) Enjoy!
