Best Way To Turn Favorite Vanilla Buttercream To Chocolate?

Hi-- I feel like I've read somewhere that you can take your vanilla buttercream recipe and add melted chocolate to it to make a great chocolate buttercream.
Does anyone do this or know the proportions? I guess I can play around with it but if someone already knows.. I'd love to hear your advice! Thanks!!
Hey Elvis--
I just add Cocoa powder to my buttercream recipe. Sometimes I may need to add a bit more milk or cut back some on the powdered sugar.
Then if it still needs more of a chocolate tste, I add a can of dark chocolate fudge frosting. May be cheating but it works for me.
i don't know what recipe you're using, but to Martha's Italian Meringue Buttercream, I add 6 ounces of melted/cooled Callebaut bittersweet dark chocolate (but candy melts would still work) and 1/2 cup of dark unsweetened cocoa powder. I omit the vanilla.
