Preparation

Step 1

In small saucepan, combine butter, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, and chocolate squares. Cook over medium-low heat until chocolate has melted and mixture has come to low boil, stirring frequently.

Reduce heat to low and cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and add confectioners' sugar and vanilla; mix well. Chill 30 minutes to thicken before using.

Notes:
This isn't like traditional frosting; it's more of a cross between glaze and thick icing.
