Notes
The easy chocolate frosting recipe hardens fast, so be ready to pour quickly.
If you'd like thicker frosting, add a little more powdered sugar.
Conversely, if you'd like thinner frosting, you can add more half and half. In both cases, use small amounts until you are happy with the consistency.
