   Quick and Easy Chocolate Frosting - my favourite trigger balm!

   
   

   1. Melt 2 squares of baking chocolate in the top of a double boiler.

   2. When the chocolate is melted, add 6 tbsps. light cream and 3 tbsps. butter.

   3. Stir until smooth and slightly thick.

   4. Remove from heat.

   5. Add: 31/2 - 4 cups sifted icing sugar all at once

   1/8 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. vanilla

   6. Beat! -- If it becomes too thick to spread, thin with a few drops of cream.

   
   

   I especially enjoy this one one bread, like nutella! But you will have enough for a cake or cupcakes as well!

   
   

   These delights will help you to beat those nasty down days even when they are caused by triggers to your PTSD. Stay well.
