Cost: 15

Ingredients

  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup (100g) packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (124g) all-purpose flour (baked if desired)
  • 1-3 tablespoons (5-15ml) milk (regular, nonfat, or nondairy are all fine)
  • 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Stir butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix in salt, vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon milk and stir until smooth.
  • Add flour and mix until smooth. If frosting is too thick, add additional milk to thin (you want it spreadable but not runny). Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Frost cupcakes or cake as desired.
  • Store in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Freeze frosting for up to 2 months.
