We had a cake but the frosting was 2 years old then we found cooks.com

I added a 1/4 cup more chocolate chips because my family loves chocolate and it was AMAZING!!!!!

This was amazing I was making a cake and had lots of icing but no chocolate so I found this website and it was yummy. Made it for the whole family!

I doubled the recipe for a 9x13 inch cake. Used white chips for a vanilla frosting. After stirring on the stove I used an electric hand held mixer. It took quite a long time and never did thicken to the fluffy frosting texture. Maybe it isn't suppose to. But it was delicious on the white cake I made. I will make this again. Lots of compliments.

Mixed cold: 1/4 cup butter (room temp soft), 1/4 cup whole milk and 1 cup (120 g.) of confectioners' sugar in Kitchen Aid mixer, then added the hot melted 1/2 cup of chocolate chips into cold mix at medium speed for 2 minutes. Result was excellent consistency and taste.

Good, not too chocolaty, and fast. One minute boil is what makes it set up (like fudge) when the dairy is added. Stays soft, which is nice. Light brown sugar works well for a penuche variation. Delicious as a frosting for a white or yellow cake.

I reduced the recipe to only get a quarter of the recipe as I needed it only to repair a bad chocolate chip cookie batch I made (not sweet enough).

I made a mistake in the reduction or something, because the frosting - which I put in the microwave instead of did on the stove - was very runny. So runny it couldn't even be used as a glaze on the cookies, let alone frosting. So I added another ~1/8 c. chocolate chips. Then, after mixing together with a knife and letting it cool a bit, I spread it on the cookies. Absolutely amazing - and bonus that the frosting hardened so that the cookies didn't stick together when stacked. Another bonus: if rolled into balls and sprinkled with cocoa powder, this would actually make a type of truffle!

Anyway, I rated it as high as I did because I feel that it is really super good and if done as directed, most likely would make the type of frosting that others have raved about.

Added a pinch of salt. Wonderful!

Easy to make, just didn't get the frosting consistency, so I just went with a glaze on top.

This is a fantastic recipe...for those of you that said it turns out grainy...it is suppose to be boiled for 1 minute, not just brought to a boil then throw the chips in...that should cure your problem :)

Perfect!

I remember my mother doing a lot of baking using the double broiler effect. I made the frosting as instructed stirred until well mixed. Then put ice in a larger pot and put the pot with the frosting on top of the ice and stirred until it was cool and got thick, and very easy to spread. It got thick very fast, so stir it as you get thickness you need. Plus it tastes very good.

Love this quick, easy and YUMMY recipe!

I was impatient ... It took a while, but the frosting turned out wonderful. At first I thought it would not thicken, my bad. It took a little patience but worth the wait!

Absolutely perfect! It's flawless! After it boils, boil for a full minute.
