Chocolate Icing for Brownies, Pound Cake and more!

This is my "go to" recipe for a quick pourable and fudgy icing that I use for brownies and chocolate pound cake mostly.

Ingredients:

1 stick butter
4 tbsp. cocoa
6 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 box powdered sugar, sifted

Combine butter, cocoa and milk in sauce pan and bring to a boil. Add vanilla and stir to combine.  All at once add the sifted sugar and stir vigorously until well combine.  Quickly pour over your cake or brownies while it is still warm.  Garnish with nuts or sprinkles if desired.

Suggestions for use:  Your favorite brownies, butter or chocolate pound cake, vanilla ice cream, cake pops, sugar cookies, chocolate buttermilk cake or grab a spoon and eat from the pan!
