This frosting is a bit too runny for my taste, but it still tastes good. I would recommend chilling it for a bit before using it.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate frosting, but this one is really good. It's not too sweet and it has a nice rich chocolate flavor.

This frosting is really good, but it's a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar if you don't like your frosting too sweet.
