Chocolate Fudge Frosting

I have had a really hard time finding a good chocolate frosting that was not buttercream.  I wanted something that was more fudgy.  This one was a modified recipe from a few I found.  I was amazed at how easy it was and yet how good.

Frosts one layer cake

2/3 cup butter
4 oz unsweeted chocolate
4 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup milk

1. In microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and butter together.  This will take about 1 minute on high, stirring every 30 seconds.  Set aside.
2. Place powdered sugar in the mixing bowl of an electric mixer.  Pour butter chocolate mixture over powdered sugar. Beat until crumbly.  Add vanilla and half of the milk to crumbles and beat well.  Add enough of the other half of the milk to make the frosting a spreading consistency.  Allow to sit at room temperature until ready to use.
