About
Chocolate flavor so rich that you'll think you've died and become Beyoncé.
This is hands-down the BEST chocolate frosting I've ever had. I would eat it by the bowl and I don't even like chocolate. It's a smoother than your average buttercream and the chocolate flavor is so rich that you'll think you've died and become Beyoncé.
Yields enough frosting for 24 cupcakes or an 8" double layer cake.
