How To Make fudgy frosting

    Stir until the chocolate is melted.

    Add the sweetened condensed milk, and cook about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the frosting is shiny and of spreading consistency.

    NOTES:
    1) Once it cools, this is just like fudge.
    2) This frosting is perfect for Devil's Food cake.
    3) I prefer the saucepan, and use a diffuser to prevent scorching.
