My kids loved this exactly as written, although I did add 1 tsp. of instant coffee granules and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon because I wanted it to accent the Mexican sheet cake I made. Also, I haven't used a double boiler in about 20 years. (Don't even own one anymore. The butter and chocolate melt well in the microwave. Just follow the directions on the chocolate box.

This was so easy and turned out delicious. I followed other reviewers' advice and increased the chocolate to 4oz, the butter to 4 TBS, and decreased the powdered sugar to 2 cups.
It's still very sweet but it doesn't overwhelm the chocolate flavor.
My kids loved it!
