Directions

  1. 1. Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
  2. 2. Prepare a square eight inch pan with cooking spray. Transfer the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Place the pan in the freezer for two hours.
  3. 3. Make the chocolate frosting by melting the chocolate and butter in a two quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in powdered sugar; add hot water a little at a time until the mixture is smooth spreadable. If frosting is too thick, add more water. If frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar.
  4. 4. Frost the mixture in the pan and then place the pan in the refrigerator. After the icing has set, cut into two inch squares.
