Chocolate Frosting

Chocolate Frosting

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate (for special occasions use the expensive Scharffen Berger chocolate [available at T&C])
1/4 cup butter
3 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon Kahlua (or vanilla)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup milk

Place the chocolate and butter in a small heavy saucepan and melt very slowly. Put it on the lowest heat and stir occasionally. Do not let the chocolate boil! If you are impatient, do chin up and leg lifts on the chin-up bar between stirrings. Pour into small mixer bowl; add confectioners’ sugar, Kahlua and salt. Blend in milk; beat to spreading consistency.
