Fudge Frosting

Difficult to master, but ohhh so worth it!

Grease sides of large pot with shortening or butter
Add: 2 cups sugar
2 cups milk
4 whole squares unsweetened baking chocolate
Let melt, bring to a boil let simmer for about 2 hours, stirring with a
whisk about every half hour. Once it gets thickened but not too thick, take it off
the heat and add a few pinches of salt, 3 tbls butter and 2 tsp vanilla. Put the pot
in an ice bath of cold water in your sink and stir vigorously with a spoon while the
water cools it down, making sure to scrape the bottom often until it is thick enough
to spread.
If it is too thick, add a touch of milk and cook it less time next time. If it's too thin,
there's nothing you can do, but cook it longer the next time you make it.
