Ingredients:
1 stick butter or margarine (1/2 cup)
2/3 cup Hershey's Cocoa (or any cocoa you have...)
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
Melt butter. Stir in cocoa. Alternately add powdered sugar and milk, beating on medium speed to spreading consistency. Add more milk if needed. Stir in vanilla.
With this frosting, you need to make sure to follow the instructions. Just adding the powdered sugar all at once makes the frosting lumpy and disgusting. The texture is amazing if you do 1 cup powdered sugar, mix it up well and than add 1/3 of the 1/3 cup of milk. It sounds hard, but if you slowly pour it in until it's just wet, you will do great. And a pinch of salt to this increases the flavor. Chocolate frosting needs a pinch of salt and vanilla. It doesn't taste the same without it. But it's a SMALL pinch of salt, not a large one. :)
