Homemade Chocolate Frosting

■6 tbsp butter (softened)
■1 cup powdered sugar
■4 tbsp cocoa powder
■3 tbsp milk
Sift together powdered sugar and cocoa. In a mixing bowl cream together softened butter and sugar/cocoa. Add milk a little at a time to control the consistency of the frosting. It may take a little more or a little less milk depending on how you like it.

Tip: If you would like a little extra rich chocolate flavor you can melt ½ cup of semi sweet chocolate chips in your microwave and stir into the frosting.You can also fold in your favorite nuts.Just make sure you don’t serve it to someone with a nut allergy.
