DIRECTIONS: In 2 quart heavy saucepan, heat half & half with butter
|
and sugar, stirring until blended. Add Ground Chocolate, mixing with

|
shiny and runs off the spoon like syrup and the first bubble appears
|
on the surface (160-F). Do not boil or overcook frosting. Cool 5
|
minutes, then add vanilla. Place pan of frosting in bowl holding a
|
tray of ice cubes and some water. Beat slowly with a spoon until
