~ Fudge Frosting

1. Heat chocolate and butter in top of a double boiler, stirring until
smooth. Cool.

2. In a medium bowl, beat sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in
chocolate mixture.

3. Set bowl in pan of ice water and beat with a spoon or hand-held electric
mixer until frosting is smooth and thick enough to spread. Or refrigerate
frosting until thick enough to spread; do not overchill.

heavy-duty aluminum foil. Spoon batter into pans and freeze until solid.

inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cupcakes: Line
muffin cups with cupcake liners and fill three-fourths full. Freeze until
solid. Remove from pans and pack in freezer bags or heavy-duty aluminum
foil. Label and date package and freeze at 0 degrees F up to 6 weeks. To
bake, place cupcakes in pan and bake in a preheated 375 degrees F oven,
