1
Melt the chocolate and margarine together in a double-boiler or, carefully, in a saucepan on low heat.
2
Mix in the vanilla extract and corn syrup, keeping the mixture somewhat hot.
3
Mix in the sugar, still keeping the mixture somewhat hot. You might not use the exact amount listed. Just keep adding sugar until the frosting is as thick as desired.

- •A very small amount of milk may be added if the mixture is unspreadable even while hot. Don't add more than you truly need.
