Chocolate Frosting - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 pkg. chocolate pudding mix (not instant)
1/2 c. milk
1/2 stick unsalted butter or margarine (soft)
1 box (1 lb.) sifted confectioners sugar

Add softened butter or margarine.
Continue cooking over low heat, stirring constantly, until it begins to boil.

If the frosting is too thick, a little milk may be added to spread easily.
This will frost and fill a 9-inch layer cake.
