Didnt have large marshmallows so I eyeballed the small ones and just kept adding them til it was the right consistency. Absolutely fantastic, my new fav chocolate icing! Thanks for sharing!

My daughter picked this out for her birthday icing (three layer yellow cake). This was a snap to make (like fudge) and I set the saucepan to cool for about an hour and half. It was perfectly thick and frosted beautifully with a slightly hardened sheen.My whole family LOVED this icing. It made for a beautiful classic cake. Thanks to Kaykwilts and her mom! Roxygirl
