I've also been looking for a fudge frosting that tastes as good as the canned frosting. I like it anyway but my mom said it tastes like preservatives so now I'm paranoid about using it for other peoples cake. Anyway, I tried this recipe in the Betty Crocker cook book and it was really good. I then tasted some of the canned frosting I had and almost gagged. So I think this is the recipe I might start using. Although I'm still watching this topic to see if a better one comes up.
Betty Crocker Fudge Frosting
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup baking cocoa (I used melted unsweetened chocolate)
1/4 cup of milk
2 Tbs butter (not margarine)
1 TBS light corn syrup
dash of salt
1/2 to 3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
Mix granulated sugar and cocoa in saucepan.
Stir in milk, butter, corn syrup, and salt.
Heat to boiling, stirring frequently.
Boil 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cool 30 minutes.
Beat in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
This needs to be beaten in a kitchen aid. A hand mixer didn't work well.
This makes a very small batch. I doubled it and it still wasn't enough.
