DARK CHOCOLATE FROSTING

It also has a wonderful sheen. Use it to decorate our Candied Hazelnut Cupcakes or Easy Chocolate Cupcakes.

DARK CHOCOLATE ICING
I fumbled this together the other day while trying to ease my conscience over some oven donuts I had just made. I really wanted a rich chocolate icing for them, but just couldn't bring myself to break out the heavy cream and double boiler. This is simple, but so dark and decadent tasting that I sat and ate a fair amount with a spoon. Enjoy!
