Chocolate Fudge Frosting
--Fran Newbold
1/3 c butter
1/4 c milk
Melt in the microwave then add
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 c cocoa
Add about 4 C of powdered sugar, start with 3 C and add more as necessary.
Frost immediately.
This frosting will harden when cool, so it is OK to stack on top of each other.
If frosting hardens before you have used it all, add more milk and stir.
