Really, there is no perfect recipe, just pay more attention to the nutrition facts on labels, and choose the ones with polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated fats, those are better for you.


When it comes to chocolate, the darker the chocolate, the better that is for you also.
Healthy?? who knows what healthy means any more.





the government gurus decided we should not eat butter about 60 years ago. they insisted that the transfat junk was ';healthy'; and better for us than the good old natural butter.





Now we find out that stuff is what is keeping all the heart disease in high order so the doctors and pharma can keep making money.





Ok, take any recipe and change the shortening or margarine to butter and make it with the butter. It is that simple. They were all changed over tha past 60 years from butter to trans fats and it was done straight across.





or you can go to http://www.recipezaar.com and put chocolate frosting or icing into search box and click go and get thousands of recipes for cake topping.
um, its frosting. lol. but just get the powdered sugar recipe off your fav. powdered sugar and it should tell you what to use. I don't recommend a NON transfat shortening, cause it won't allow the butter to combine with it, but hey, i am just a pastry chef
Another youth has been lead astray..


It is so sad they believe without question..


Trans - Fat how silly


decades ago (?) Crisco stopped using it


IT is BOLDLY printed on the label


make your frosting


I don't do recipes


You'll get plenty..
