Hi, I have a client who is wanting to know if I can make boiled chocolate frosting. Has anyone heard of such and do you have a recipe?

Can they explain why/how they know "boiled icing"?
I know of 2 recipes that are heated (off the top of my head). One is choc sheath cake icing and the other a fudge icing that has Hershey bars and marshmallows in it. Can they explain the texture?

It is made with regular sugar. One person said it was a tad gritty due to reg sugar, not conf. sugar being used. I don't think it had marshmellows in it.
Thanks!

Hey Cakes by Sandy, I have a recipe for Boiled Icing (not frosting) I can send it if you want it mainly involves boiling water and sugar in the pan and the sugar is normal sugar. It's not actually a chocolate recipe but I remember my mum making boiled chocolate icing. Hope I am of some help.
