Creamy Fudge Frosting

4 semi-sweet chocolate baking squares
1 2/3 cups confectioners sugar
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
6 tablespoons butter, softened, cut up (no substitutions)

Heat chocolate, sugar and cream, stirring constantly, in saucepan over medium heat until smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Transfer to mixer bowl, and place in large bowl of ice water. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until cold and thick. Remove from ice bath. Gradually beat in butter at high speed; beat until fluffy and stiff enough to hold its shape.

Grandma's recipe (from some Woman's Magazine)
