Combine the chocolate and butter and melt over very low heat, stirring
constantly. In a mixing bowl, combine the confectioners sugar, salt, milk,
and vanilla. Beat until well combined. Add the butter mixture and beat
until smooth. If the frosting is too thick, thin with a little more milk
added a teaspoon at a time. If the frosting is too thin, allow it to stand
for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the frosting is the right
consistency, work quickly as the frosting becomes hard on standing.
