Recipe: Old Fashioned Chocolate Icing

Old Fashioned Chocolate Icing
Rec.food.recipes/David Gammon (1996)

2 1/2 squares of chocolate or 3 tbsp. cocoa
2 cups sugar
1 tbsp. Karo syrup or other syrup
1 small can evaporated milk

Mix well, and cook with candy thermometer to 232 degrees. Add in:

1/2 stick margarine or butter
1 tsp vanilla

DO NOT STIR!! Let it cool to 130 degrees, then beat well.

This is the recipe used by the lady who made all the birthday cakes and special occasion cakes in our community in eastern North Carolina for years. It's worth the effort.
