Frosting

¼ C butter, melted
6 T cocoa powder unsweetened - I use Dutch cocoa powder for this frosting
½ tsp. vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
¼ cup milk

Stir butter and cocoa together until smooth, add vanilla.
Stir in milk, add powdered sugar a little at a time, using a hand mixer at medium high speed beat until rich and creamy, about 3 minutes or so.
If you like your frosting thicker add more powdered sugar if you like it thin add more milk.
