I used the winter mix of mint and chocolate chips with powdered sugar. It stayed a deep chocolate color and the mint was a nice surprise!

This is my go to easy frosting. I use almond milk, unsalted butter and a little less sugar. I double the recipe for 2 dozen cupcakes.

This recipe is for plain granulated sugar but there are some techniques. Stir the mixture to dissolve the sugar well while bringing it to a boil. Boil it for one minute as directed; not a second more. That should solve the problems with grainy texture. Remove from the heat and let it cool just for a minute or two before adding chocolate. You don't want to burn the chocolate, but you need to melt it. Stir in the chips and give them time to start melting before beating. Now it's fabulous!

This frosting recipe was awesome :-) !!! I'm a beginner cook and have never made homemade frosting before. This recipe was EXTREMELY EASY to follow and came out DELICIOUS! I actually used white chocolate chip instead of chocolate chips HOPING that this wouldn't ruin the recipe and waste my ingredients... AND IT DIDN'T!!! Came out fabulous, I will definitely be using this recipe again. Thanks so much for sharing!

Super-easy to make. Very sugary, but tasty. Poured it over a Bundt cake while the frosting was still warm. My family loved it.

Perfect frosting. The kids love this. It will thicken up the more it cools. I took some of the leftover and froze it. When I took it out to thaw it stayed like fudge!! It was yummy. Next time I have leftover and freeze I will add nuts to it since it was like fudge. Thanks for recipe!!
