Homemade vs Store-bought

You walk inside the supermarket, and quickly set out to find the baking isle. Once there, your entire body freezes as you stare wide-eyed at the marvelous selection of canned frosting staring back at you. You stare in disbelief as your mouth waters. Chocolate, Vanilla, Cream cheese, all of these delicious flavors taunting you, calling out your name in the form of a sweet sugary whisper.

This scenario has probably happened to some of us. Perhaps we have stared at those tempting cans of frosting and wished our homemade frosting came out tasting just as good. Well, here's a secret, it can be even better!

Tonight, I will take you step by step, and teach  you how to achieve the same awesome chocolaty taste of store bought frosting for a lot less money.

First things first, the ingredients.

You will need:

*2 Cups powdered sugar
* 2 tbsp unsweetened baking chocolate
* 2 tbsp butter
* 3 tbsp water, heated

*Electric Mixer or Whisk
*Sauce Pan
*Spatula

OK, now that you have all your ingredients, lets get started.

Step One:
Add butter and baking chocolate in a sauce pan over low heat, making sure to stir continuously in order to prevent chocolate from burning.

Step Two:
Once you see that the chocolate is fully melted, remove from heat , add sugar and water. Stir with spatula.

Step Three:
Use the whisk or electric mixer to mix thoroughly


In order to check if your frosting is ready, scoop some up with the spatula and frost the side of your pan. If the frosting sticks to the pan and has a thick consistency, then you're finished!

I hope you've enjoyed this recipe and enjoyed making your frosting! Remember, you can make anything you see at the store from the convenience of your own home, for a lot less money, and most likely with a lot better taste :)
