Chocolate Ganache Buttercream Frosting

This chocolate ganache buttercream frosting will leave you wondering if you really need to make a cake at all when the frosting is this good and you can just eat it with a spoon!

The secret ingredient is YOUR favourite chocolate bar! Milk, dark, semi-sweet, whatever your heart desires! I like to use Galaxy because it’s so nice and creamy already, I think it makes for an unreal frosting.

This recipe is super simple, super quick, pretty damn hard to mess up and all while seeming super impressive and that’s why it is my go to frosting!
