Boy, I do not have a dark chocolate icing recipe. Although I heard that the icing off of the hersheys containers is delicous. This will give you a bump up and I will go and peak to see if I can find the recipe on line that every said was so good. Jen

Edited to add...I found these on the hersheys website. Not sure if either appeal to you. I jsut know that others have raved about a recipe from hersheys. HTH some, Jen

Or this one that has chocolate buttercream recipe..

Edited one last time lol...I found the discussion on the hershey icing. I will link it for you, it sounds like it is just what you are looking for. I did go check to see if I had some hershey cocoa, but of course I dont. Here is the link to the discussion...

For dark chocolate I would make a dark chocolate ganache. Remember, the higher quality chocolate you use, the better it will taste. I personally prefer Ghirardelli over Hershey's.
