Blend in milk, cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thick. Cool
completely.
In large mixing bowl cream butter, sugar and vanilla. Beat until light
and fluffy. Gradually add completely cooled chocolate mixture. Beat to
blend well, but over-beating will break it down soupy. Frost cake.
Note: any coating or pure chocolate is fine to use.
