it's like TiVo

We've been making a glorious mess today chez nous...........nope, no special occasion.....
everyone needs a sweet day....Chocolatey....fluffy.....delicious....goooooooooey.....sinful......homemade.........
FROSTING! with SPRINKLES....

Not the professional, dry, stiff frosted cupcakes that are so popular right now...
but the SOFT, GOOEY, milky, melty, sloppy, messy kind.......that you honestly need a big glass of milk to wash down every crumb...
and a couple of wet wipes won't hurt either......


Let him be the judge......

Homemade Chocolate Butter Frosting:
1/3 cup butter, soft, and whipped with your mixer
slowly add: 1/2 c. good unsweetened cocoa, mix in
2-3 cups powdered sugar (mix will look very dry)
add 1/4 c. milk, mix in slowly
a little vanilla
if it's too loose, add a bit more powdered sugar....
So much better than the frosting in a can!
This is the kind you could eat all by itself, dip fruit in, put on cookies.......you have to try it!
Once you've tried it, you'll never go back. It's like TiVo.
