I want to make something German chocolate for hubby’s b-day. I will have to keep this recipe in mind. Thanks! Reply
Hi! I just made this and it tastes so good! I live in a hot climate, and I won’t be using it until tomorrow- should I refrigerate this frosting until I’m reading to put it on the cupcakes? Reply
