Chocolate Frosting
Combine the chips, half & half and butter in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until melted and combined. Put in mixing bowl and mix in the powdered sugar (It will be a little thin).

I made this in a 9×13 pan and couldn’t get the icing to come together for me. I ended up adding more icing sugar and it worked out. My nephew enjoyed it!

Robin, this was delicious. I used an extra banana because I love bananas.
I also found that the recipe resulted in a cup of surplus icing, so would probably reduce to 4 cups powdered sugar and 1 cup butter for next time. And there WILL be a next time! Thank you muchly for sharing.

Excellent! I made this for a neighborhood get-together and got rave reviews.
I left it sit on the counter overnight and the frosting got a little soft. The top layer of the cake slid partway off on the car ride over, but luckily I fixed it with some emergency cake surgery upon arrival. I think if I would have put it in the fridge overnight the frosting would have been perfect.
