Last week I decided to make cupcakes to bring into work to celebrate our November birthday babies. This was a great chocolate frosting. Very quick and easy to make. I baked and frosted 2 dozen cupcakes in no time flat. 🧁
The frosting was a perfect piping consistency. The recipe below makes enough frosting to decorate 24 cupcakes.

Ingredients
