A chocolate icing recipe for robin as requested in the June 4th Nancy's newsletter.

Real Fudge Icing

2 cups sugar
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup Crisco shortening
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix all ingredients together except the vanilla. Boil for exactly 2 minutes from boiling point, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Pour into mixing bowl and allow to cool completely. Then beat for exactly 5 minutes.

This icing is great on cake layers or chocolate pound cake. Should be great on brownies too. Hope this works good for you.
