What You Need

4
squares BAKER'S Unsweetened Chocolate
1/4
cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine, softened
1
pkg. (16 oz.) powdered sugar (about 4 cups), divided
1
tsp. vanilla
1/2
cup milk

Make It

MELT chocolate in saucepan on very low heat, stirring constantly; set aside.

BEAT butter in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add about half of the sugar, beating on low speed after each addition until well blended. Add chocolate and vanilla; mix well.

ADD remaining sugar alternately with the milk, beating until well blended after each addition. Use to frost your favorite cake or cupcake recipe.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise
Here's a delicious frosting recipe for your favorite cakes and cupcakes. Make certain that you pay attention to the amount of frosting that you use. It's rich, so a little goes a long way. Recipe makes enough to frost tops and sides of 2 (8- or 9-inch) cake layers, top and sides of 13x9-inch cake, tops of 3 (8- or 9-inch) cake layers or 24 cupcakes.
Cooking Know-How
If frosting becomes too thick, beat in additional milk by teaspoonfuls until of spreading consistency.
Substitute
Substitute 6 squares BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate for the 4 squares of BAKER'S Unsweetened Baking Chocolate.
