Fast, easy, rich frosting

I don't know if this is the "ultimate", but my fam likes it:

Melt 1 stick butter. Add 2/3 C. Hersheys Cocoa stirring. Add alternately, 3 C. powdered sugar and 1/3 C. Coffee. (if you are going to pipe through a decorater bag, sift the sugar) Beat. Add vanilla, almond or orange flavoring to taste while beating. If too thick, add coffee a few drops at a time.

My family fights over who's gunna lick the bowl (and they're all grown-ups lol) ; )

In a bowl, in the microwave, melt 12 ounces of chocolate chips with a tablespoon of oil for about 1-2 minutes or until the chips are melted. Stir in powdered sugar until it is the right consistency-not much, or it will be too thick. This makes a very rich frosting.

Oops, forgot to add that you need to stir until lumps are gone. :o)

1 lb. powdered sugar
1 t. vanilla
spread over cake while still warm (frosting)
