Great recipe. Reminds me of frosting my grandmother used to make. I make a three layer Hot Milk Cake and use this for the frosting. It is always a hit. If the icing is runny, it is because it wasn't cooked long enough.

I agree with Baker Gal. I don't understand what went wrong. Perhaps not boiling the first three ingredients?

Taste is fudgy great, however; it was as runny as soup even though I had every measurement and every step exact. Try and figure? It became ice cream topping.
