Ingredients
6TablespoonsButter
6ozSemi-Sweet Chocolate ChipsWorks well with sugar-free chocolate chips from Hershey's Kitchen
Instructions
Melt the butter and chocolate chips in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until just melted. Then, remove from heat.

Notes
Putting hot chocolate on buttercream can melt the buttercream! Placing the cake in the fridge prior to applying the chocolate can help prevent melting.
