I know the recipe I use is in the recipe section, but I'm not sure what it's called.
Here's the doubled recipe I made last night (it doesn't make much)
Beat 1 lb SOFT butter.
Melt 4 oz unsweetened chocolate in the microwave. Add 4 tbl corn syrup and blend.
Add chocolate to butter and beat together.
Beat in 2 lbs powdered sugar.
Add 3-4 tbl milk until spreadable consistency. (It's very humid here, I think I only added 2)
This is the one I always use - very easy but it has a great richness but isn't like eating a dark chocolate bar. If you store in the fridge, be sure to take it out the day before to soften and then slightly whip up before using.
I made one from here last weekend called "Crusting Chocolate Fudge Buttercream" I thought it was really good. Nice and smooth. Trying to find one that my DH likes that isn't too sweet (that's his request). But also one that crusts and doesn't melt. This one definitely held up to the humidity here.
Hope this link gets you there:

I just use the Wilton recipie and I have one lady who requests it and calls it "A party in her mouth" (yes those are her exact words) In fact I just did a cake for her (the fishing cake in my photos)

A BIG THANK YOU...my office, loved, loved, loved your chocolate frosting recipe...I had to add a bit more than 4 tbls of milk and added a bit Amoretti Kahlua vanilla - it was to die for and the office was coveting the extra cake....yummo...and thanks as I will be using this recipe for my chocolate frosting from now on!
