OK, here it is. This frosting also makes *killer* brownies!

1 6 oz pkg (1 cup) semisweet choc. chips
1/4 C butter
1/2 C sour cream (If you can get Daisy brand, it is all natural, no added ingredients)
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 -2 3/4 sifted confectioner's sugar

Melt choc in microwave. Don't over-melt or it will get grainy. Blend in sour cream, vanilla, and 1/4 tsp salt. Gradually add enough confectioner's sugar for spreading consistency. I usually double this recipe. One is enough for brownies, though.

Enjoy!

Yep, busy gardening--but strawberries are in here at my garden so I have been using them for jam. Speaking of rhubarb, I have a recipe for raspberry/rhubarb/pineapple jam that is to die for. My Gram made it every year, but this year she can't stand for any length of time to can anymore so I will be making it. The funny thing about the recipe--it calls for Jello in it...lol If you would like it, just let me know

Wow!!! Those look great. How do you form your buns, mine never look that pretty.

Edited to add: LOL I almost forgot why I opened this thread.

I made some of Aunt Sandy's brownies last night and they are as always really good.

Fudge Brownies (Aunt Sandy)

1 1/3 cup butter, softened
2 2/3 cups sugar
4 eggs
1-tablespoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1-cup cocoa (I like the Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa)
1/2-teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups chopped pecans (optional)

Preheat oven to 350° and grease a 9x13-inch pan.

With an electric mixer cream the butter and sugar.

Break the eggs in a bowl and beat, then, by hand add eggs and vanilla stirring well.

Stirring by hand mix in the flour, cocoa & salt mix well.

Spread in greased 9x13 pan.

Bake at 350° for 25 to 30 minutes or until top is dry and center is set. Cool completely. Dust with powered sugar.

r.e. the cheeseburger buns; did you buy the cheese powder from King Arthur or did you find something at your local grocery?

Also, for anybody that bakes a lot I highly recommend buying the SAF yeast by the pound. Put it in a glass jar and keep in your freezer for up to a year. Even with the shipping cost from King Arthur it will still save you a bundle over buying yeast in the foil packs.
