2 tbls butter (can use 3)
1½ cups sugar
½ cup milk
1½ squares baking chocolate, chopped
1 tsp vanilla
In heavy saucepan, melt butter. Then add sugar and milk; stir well. Bring to boil and add chocolate. Boil, without stirring, until soft ball forms in cold water. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla. Cool awhile, and then beat with spoon until of spreading consistency. (When this starts to set, you have to work fast if you are frosting cup cakes).
