Chocolate Frosting Is the Only One I'Ll Ever Make

Cook mainly from reduced calorie healthy recipes/books and authors or adapt recipes to become less calorie, (IE: more veggies, lean protein, then carbs and fats) and also convert to a vegetarian recipe at times. Like lots of flavor from herbs and spices rather then fat and carbs. Heavy on vegetarian and fish, but do eat most anything.

I cannot count the times I’ve referenced this faded page, covered with chocolate splatters, watermarks, and my mom’s almost illegible cursive note reading “Delicious. Like fudge square icing.” (She’s referencing my grandmother’s family-famous recipe.) This gold standard comes from a 1934 Hershey’s cookbook, where the recipe is called Busy Day Cocoa Icing.

While I’ve tried many alternatives over the years, I'm using this recipe if I’m making chocolate icing.
