Recipe Reviews
Waste of time. It curdled and turned in to a greasy mess. The comments give better tips than the original recipe!
It's so good! Great icing!
Great recipe, definitely needs the milk to make is soft enough once it’s cooled. I use 3 big splashes.
I also used a microwave to melt choc and butter on 30 second intervals. Let it stand before it’s fully melted and let it melt itself with its heat instead of overheating.
Worked a treat.
Totally yummy and so simple to make 😋 I used my microwave to melt the butter and chocolate together which was really simple. Thank you.
It's real good melted icing😋
Great recipe, worked perfectly. Used a large pan, low heat, melted butter and chocolate together at the same time. Added dry ingredients and whisked by hand. Lovely dark glossy mouth watering icing!
