Double Chocolate Frosting

With the holidays around the corner, I have been in the mood for sweets! I've been decorating our home for Halloween and wanted an ultra-dark icing to top my devil's food cupcakes. The great thing about this icing is that it can easily be changed to a milk chocolate icing by switching out dark cocoa for regular, making this a icing a classic year-round.
The consistency of this icing is fairly thick, too! It's great for piping onto cakes to create various designs. If you want it a bit stiffer, simply add a little extra confectioner's sugar.
