CHOCOLATE FUDGE FROSTING
1 stick margarine
4 tblsp Hershey's cocoa
6 tblsp milk
1 pound confectioners sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup (or more) chopped pecans
Place margarine, cocoa, and milk in saucepan and bring to a boil. Be careful not to burn. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and pecans. Mix well.
As soon as you take the cake from the oven, poke holes in it and spread the frosting on the hot cake. Serve from pan.
BONUS: Using the Chocolate Fudge Frosting recipe above, add just 4 tblsp of milk instead of 6. Follow directions as given. Pour into a buttered 8 or 9 inch square pan. Some of the best Fudge there is and it's fool proof.
