Chocolate Buttercream #Choctoberfest

This recipe had me licking my fingers all night long. I used this frosting for the Mississippi Mud brownies I made yesterday for #Choctoberfest.  There was some leftovers and my husband had the brilliant idea of topping some chocolate chip banana muffins. Instant cupcakes. It made me think that having frosting on hand at all times is a pretty good thing.
