Chocolate Truffle Buttercream image

This is a super easy, very decadent buttercream recipe that I developed to suit the chocoholic tastes of my family. If you are looking for a frosting with a rich chocolate flavor minus the cloyingly sweet taste of confectioners sugar--this is it! This recipe makes a very generous amount of frosting--I use the extra on fresh strawberries or icecream.
