This is a great recipe....easy, tasty and has a wonderful fudge-like consistency! I substituted peppermint flavor for the first teaspoonful, then used vanilla for the other 1/2 teaspoonful....EXCELLENT! A perfect addition to my collection!

Even though I had to quickly make an icing for the cake for my parents and had to quickly go online for a recipe, it came out great. The guests ate the whole cake and left none for the chef who made it :'(

This recipe only took us five minutes to make. We put 2 cups of coca instead of 1/2 a cup, it tasted really rich and chocolaty. This is a great recipe for kids to make.

This was extremely sweet and just did not have a good flavor! I had to go to the store and buy frosting because it was so bad.
