Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Place ½ cup butter, ¼ cup milk, 1 cup granulated sugar, and ¼ cup cocoa powder in a sauce pan and heat over medium low heat.
  • Stirring occasionally, bring the mixture to a boil. Allow to boil for 3 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • The frosting will be really hot, so you will want to let it cool for a while before you spread it over anything. You can place the saucepan in an ice water bath and stir occasionally if you would like to speed the process.
