It wont work as it will be a soft frosting, you will need to use proper chocolate so it will go hard in fridge. The hardest frosting with cocoa powder would be made with marscaponi cheese icing sugar and cocoa, but it will still be quite soft sorry.

Chocolate For Everybody

Try asking people around about what their favorite food is to match their sweet tooth and certainly most if not all of them will answer chocolate. Do not just ask the little kids or the young adults because even middle aged people and the senior citizens still fancy this ultimate chocolate delight. If you base it solely to that, you can easily conclude that chocolate is one the most loved food there is in the whole wide world. Because of that, it has been made available for everyone to enjoy.

Based on practices, chocolates have been a part of the rewards and punishments as a disciplinary method among children. If they scored high in tests or if  they made a good deed, they will be rewarded with a box of these sweets. But if they did the opposite, they will be grounded and deprived from these delicious chocolates for a period of time.

Onto the next age level which is the teens or the youth. Chocolate is every girl’s best friend. If they are sad and troubled, they would drown themselves in chocolate and feel better after downing a handful of it. Chocolates have also evolved into becoming a symbol of love and affection. It is a favorite gift given to a person dear to you. The sweetness of every bite size reflects the feelings of the sender towards the receiver of the gift.

Moreover, when people reach middle age they still have that special attachment towards chocolates. Unfortunately, in this age group entails a lot of problems and complications when it comes to health. Although the cocoa is nothing but alluring, the sugar content is what’s holding them back most specifically to the ones diagnosed with Diabetes. But the good news is, since chocolate is for everybody, manufacturers found ways to lessen the sugar content or even make it sugar free but still keeping intact the sweetness that it brings.

For the older ones, the availability of hot chocolate has been their favorite. Alongside that is the introduction of dark chocolate syrup. The strength of the taste and aroma brings them back to their younger years when they used to eat as much as they want with no holds barred.

With the increasing demand of chocolates in the market, more and more manufactures have innovated their production and made a wider range of flavors. Because of that, chocolate has been made very cheap and affordable making it a staple favorite for all the people in the world, young or old.

Definitely!! These are just two recipes I found. You can also just up the amount of powdered sugar you use if you would like it sweeter. The dark Chocolate is a wonderful classy taste. It is for more mature tastes though. Although my kids love dark chocolate.
