Chocolate Frosting for Brownies or Sheet Cake

Directions for Chocolate Frosting for Brownies

  1. Use an electric hand mixer to whisk together all of the ingredients in a large bowl until a smooth frosting forms.
  2. Keep covered until ready to use.

Even though I typically use my KitchenAid stand mixer for most frosting recipes, this one is soft enough that I always use a hand mixer.
