NEVER, NEVER FAIL FROSTING

This recipe, to the best of my knowledge, is from an old Midwestern church.

2 cups sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 squares chocolate

Mix in saucepan; stir over low heat until butter and chocolate are melted. Boil one minute or until a candy thermometer reads 220 degrees. Remove from heat, add vanilla and beat until thick.

Note: For a delicious white frosting, omit the chocolate and make exactly like the above.
