Sweet Tooth Heaven

My family loves chocolate, but who doesn't?  So I make a ton of chocolate cupcakes which includes chocolate icing.  I just found the most amazing icing recipe - no store bought stuff for us!  The best part is it's easy to whip up.  So here it is....

Chocolate Fluff Icing

2 sticks, unsalted butter, softened
4 oz unsweetened baking chooclate (melted as the package instructs)
1 jar (7oz) Marshmellow Fluff or creme
1 c confectioner sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract

Beat butter and chocolate on medium until creamy.
Beat in marshmellow.   Once blended beat in confectioners sugar and vanilla.

Increase speed to high and beat 3 - 4 minutes.

Ice the cupcakes!
