Is there an easy way to make this? Or am I better off just to tint the regular royal brown? I am just using it to embellish some petit fours with dots, but I want it to be nice and firm...

TIA! icon_smile.gif

Could you add cocoa powder to the icing?

Do you replace some of the sugar for cocoa powder or just add more water? How much cocoa would you recommend?

I have made chocolate royal icing by adding cocoa powder to a regular royal recipe - I sifted 1/3 cup cocoa power and 1 pound of confectioner's sugar together with the meringue powder (and added water, of course icon_smile.gif ). It was dark brown and hardened just like regular royal... It was pretty tasty to boot!

Thanks ibmoser! Will have to try this weekend - I don't know why I haven't tried to make it before ....
