Fudge Frosting

• 2 squares unsweetened chocolate
• 1/2 cup milk or light cream
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Melt chocolate over low heat, add milk and sugar, boil until a few drops form a soft ball in cold water. Add butter and vanilla. Let stand undisturbed a few minutes, then beat until thick enough to spread. If too thick, stir in a little cream.
