Posted by MrsNancyB1 Chocolate MMF has been the bane of my existence for the last several days. I had tried a recipe and my MMF was SO dry, and SO crumbly that I couldn't use it. I was baffled, because I added considerably less PS than the regular MMF calls for, yet it was still DRY! I kept thinking and thinking, and experimenting and now I'm confident that I've found the perfect recipe for chocolate MMF. This chocolate MMF comes out very pliable, very moist and very easy to work with. When you're ready to use it, knead in some shortening and it will return back to the beautiful, pliable...

Posted by dentex79 This is a recipe I came up with after enjoying a Reese peanut butter cup! It is delish. Everyone who had had it loves it!

Posted by CakeMakar I love this recipe so much I asked Snarkybaker's permission to post it. It's just what you want from a chocolate icing - rich, smooth, super chocolate flavor. I've posted the directions as they were given to me, but I've used it directly after making it. You can refrigerate it if you're trying to thicken it up or storing it. It's perfect for making those drippy chocolate topped cakes. I've made it endless times, and it's always loved by everyone. Thanks for the recipe, Snarkybaker!
