HOW MUCH COCOA DO I NEED TO ADD TO THIS RECIPE TO MAKE IT CHOCOLATE?!?! PLEASE REMEMBER, I NEED TO KNOW HOW MUCH COCOA. THANKS. HELP ASAP!
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup butter flavor Crisco
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
5 cups confectioners sugar
1/4 cup milk
HELPPPPPPP!!
According to a recipe I have that is the same size batch as you list, it says 3/4 cup of cocoa. You may also want to add a little bit more milk to get the right texture, as the cocoa will dry out the icing. (I also sift my cocoa to avoid little lumps that will taste bitter later.)
Hope this helps! Good luck!

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!! I'M SOOOO NERVOUS ABOUT THIS CAKE, AND FREAKING OUT.
I sift my cocoa powder with double the amount of icing sugar.
So, if you're adding 1/2c of cocoa, sift it together with 1c of the sugar.
Then sift the rest of the icing sugar together with the cocoa/sugar sifted mix.
Oh, and I always, always use cream, or at least the heaviest fat milk I can, especially for chocolate, and you may need a little bit extra.
Yummmmm
Have fun, let us know how it turns out!!
The recipe I use is just about double of yours and I add 1 cup cocoa and 1 cup chocolate syrup, for yours 1/2 and 1/2 should do it! Good luck. AND NO STRESSING! I know it will be fab-u-lous! 
If it is the best icing you hav eever tasted, maybe I need to start using your recipe now!
