Magic Chocolate Frosting

Vamp · ‎04-14-2010

Found this on Pinterest. Has anyone ever made this? I'm going to give it a try. Because the print is so small, here's the recipe:

2 squares unsweetened chocolate

1 can Eagle Brand sweetened condensed milk

1 T. water

Melt chocolate in double boiler. Add sweetened condensed milk. Stir over boiling water 5 minutes until it thickens. Add water. Cool cake before spreading frosting.

1935 Eagle Brand Magic Chocolate Frosting. Excellent! It never thickened up to more than a very thick glaze. It has such a wonderful flavor. It is really something special:)

Very cool, from 1935. I love old cookbooks. Thanks for posting Smile

Two squares doesn't sound very chocolatey, to get the depth of color shown in the photo. I'd love to know how it turns out, if you do make it.

Man, was I shocked in that the other day I needed some Baker's chocolate, and it does not come in those already measured out for you for the unwrapping squares, but rather one large bar, like a Hershey bar, and you have to break off what you need.....AND THE QUALITY....... ${#emotions_dlg.ohmy}$ You can not even use that word in describing it any more........ ${#emotions_dlg.angry}$

I've made this for years, not as frosting though. I used 4 squares and one can , stirred on low heat on stove, then used it as hot fudge sauce for ice cream. It works and I eat every drop over the next 3 or 4 days all by myself.

In 1935, the chocolate squares may have been bigger ${#emotions_dlg.confused1}$ I'm not sure.

What?!? ${#emotions_dlg.confused1}$ What brand did you use? I haven't bought baking chocolate in bar form in a while; I usually use the powedered unsweetened chocolate.

You may be right. Two squares doesn't sound like a lot, but I can always follow gulf coast girl's lead...and add more chocolate! Or just make it into a topping for ice cream. That works, too! ${#emotions_dlg.thumbup}$

Don't believe the "easy break" as it says on the box......... Wink

Kraft Baker's Unsweetened Baking Chocolate Bar, 4 oz

The old box had individual squares, and was a total of 8 oz, now it is 4 oz, but recipes still call for 1 square, 2 square and so on....... ${#emotions_dlg.huh}$
