Creamy Dark Chocolate Frosting
With the July 4th holiday approaching, party planning is in full swing! Our annual family get-together is typically filled with swimming, fireworks, and of course, food. This year my family has requested my famous chocolate cupcakes with dark chocolate frosting; not so much for the cake, but for the yummy, creamy, dreamy frosting! This is my go-to frosting recipe – it’s quick, easy to make, and of course, delicious!
