- In a saucepan, melt butter and dark brown soft sugar over medium heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved, then add milk. Bring to the boil and remove from heat.
- Sieve together cocoa and icing sugar. Blend into butter mixture and add vanilla. If consistency is too stiff, add more milk.
- Spread quickly over cooled cake, as icing will set up very fast.

I needed to ice some chocolate muffins in a hurry that I needed to take out, and this recipe was perfect - all the ingredients are standard storecupboard items (although I used demerara sugar not dark brown), it was easy to make, and the icing set quickly so the muffins were easy to transport (I could pack them in a double layer). Best of all the icing was delicious. One recipe made enough to generously cover 12 muffins. - 01 Sep 2011
We loved this recipe - got a big thumbs up from the whole family. It made a lot more than 10 though - which was good for us as we'd made 20 fairy cakes! - 16 Jul 2012
How easy is this?! delicious also... I followed recipe to the letter and I think it's the best icing I've ever made (kids agree also). Thanks for sharing - 23 Dec 2011
