Directions:
Cream the hell out of the butter and cocoa until thick, glossy chocolate paste or "chocolate babies," form. Add 2 c icing sugar, 1 tbsp milk and vanilla to chocolate babies. Beat the crap out of it (no lumps!). Take a knife and scrape all the goo off the spoon to avoid nast later on. Add 2 more c icing sugar, 1 tbsp milk and a pinch of salt. Same process, beat the crap, pick the nast. 1 more c icing sugar and 1 tbsp milk may be added if necessary. Continue beating crap until desired chocolate babies.
