I just add 3/4 cup of cocoa powder to my regular BC recipe. I recommend getting a good brand of cocoa - I didn't get gourmet or anything like that but I did get a nice german cocoa at my local grocery store. Hope that helps...... thumbs_up.gif

I have added cocoa powered or melted chocolate to my crusting buttercream icing. Sometimes you will have to add more liquid as the chocolate will make a drier icing.

I have added 4 to 8oz Baker's Chocolate squares, a bag of chocolate chips or a bag of candy melts. How much you add depends on how chocolately you want the icing to be. icon_smile.gif

I have used the chocolate syrup recipe on here, it is great! Smoothes out great, and pipes wonderfully too! THe only thing I can say is that you need to put this one in the fridge for the crusting and it melts in the heat too. SO becareful.
