  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preparation
  1. Combine the butter, milk, and granulated sugar in a small saucepan and set the heat to medium-high.

Cooking
  1. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally, for 45 seconds.
  2. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract and chocolate chips.
  3. Whisk continuously until the chocolate melts and the frosting is smooth.
Pouring and Setting

Notes

Use a small saucepan for even boiling. Stir constantly with the chocolate to avoid lumps, and pour immediately after cooking.
