Fudgy Frosting

3 tablespoons butter
1 square unsweetened chocolate
2 squares semi-sweet chocolate
2 eggs, well beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Melt butter and chocolate together over the lowest heat possible. If you lack the confidence to accomplish this simple task, use a double boiler.

Add eggs to chocolate mixture, stirring well. This cooks the eggs, thus avoiding the risk of the deadly "raw egg disease" that is feared by so many people.

Stir in vanilla extract.

Add powdered sugar, mix until smooth.

Spread over 13 x 9 inch cake.

Note: This recipe is modified from an old recipe named for William "Fudgy" Sunomono, a member of the little known outlaw clan that terrorized the Old Wild West. The old recipe used rotgut whiskey instead of vanilla extract.
