Mema’S Chocolate Icing

1. 1

   Mix all ingredients except for vanilla together in a sauce pan. Cook over medium heat until butter is melted, whisking gently to blend ingredients.

2. 2

   Bring mixture to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally until it boils. Boil on medium heat for exactly two minutes. DO NOT STIR OR MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH MIXTURE.

3. 3

   Remove from stove, stir in vanilla, and let sit for five minutes. Begin stirring and stir until icing loses a little bit of the shine, or your arm falls off, whichever comes first. Frosting will thicken as it cools.

4. 4

   Pour over cake, letting it drip over the sides. Spread as needed. Eat the last spoonful as a reward for all that stirring.
