I've had the Fudge Frosting recipe for a while, but honestly don't remember where it came from! In my recipe files, I actually titled it "Perfect Chocolate Frosting" with a sub-heading that reads: Finally, a gorgeous, delicious frosting simple enough for me! If I had to guess, I'd say it probably came from my 1950 Betty Crocker Cookbook. You seriously can't go wrong with her cake and frosting section.

Ingredients:

2 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate (or cocoa powder equivalent)
2 Tbsp. butter or margarine
2 cups powdered sugar
3 Tbsp. hot water

Melt chocolate and butter on stove in a saucepan on medium heat.

Once combined and melted, take off heat. Stir in powdered sugar and hot water. Voila! Ready to frost!

I decorated with bright red, round sprinkles and a dusting of powdered sugar. My Valentine actually helped me decorate, which made it extra fun!

Perfect!

Now...to round up the scissors, glue, Sharpies and scrapbooking paper...


Happy Valentine's Day!
