Chocolate Buttercream: 2 ingredients

By jann

Ingredients

• 1 lb. butter (2 cups)
• 12 oz. chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (2 cups)

Preparation

Step 1

Melt together in double broiler or in microwave with power turned down a little (in case you haven't noticed, I always like to turn down the microwave heat when I'm melting chocolate). Whisk together until combined. Throw it in the freezer while the cupcakes bake until it's pretty firm. Beat for at least 5 minutes until fluffy. Frost cooled cupcakes immediately and then chill. I suggest serving them cold. That's how they're the best.
