This will make a very tasty frosting that will, when cooled, turn into a fudge like covering. All the measurements given are really very approximate since I tend to just pour until it looks good.

Ingredients

• 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
• 1 cup milk, half and half, or cream
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 3 tbsp corn syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla
• Powdered sugar

Directions

1. Put the milk and chocolate into a medium sized pot and put over medium/high
2. When the chocolate begins to melt add the sugar and corn syrup
3. Bring the mixture to a stiff boil and let it boil for 3-5 minutes
4. Mix in the vanilla and let the mixture sit until it begins to harden
5. When the mixture has hardened enough that is no longer runny, pour it over the cake and let it sit until finishes hardening, then serve!
6. If you wish to make the mixture thicker add powdered sugar while the mixture is still runny (I tend to add around 1/3 to 1/2 cup powdered sugar), to make it thinner, add water
