How to Make Mom's Fudge Frosting

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 3 cups granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup milk. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 12 ounces (2 cups) of your favorite semi-sweet chocolate chips until completely melted and smooth.
  4. Let the frosting cool slightly before using. This will allow it to thicken to the perfect consistency for spreading.
