A great part about chocolate frosted donuts is that the frosting is strong enough to hold on toppings, such as nuts and sprinkles.- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1-1/2 Tablespoons corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups powdered sugar sifted
