2 step fudge!
12oz. bag of chips (could be vanilla or butterscotch or whatever you think would taste good with your frosting) Melt slowly in the microwave. Once melted, add about 2/3 can of the frosting...no need to put back in the micro, the leftover heat from the chips will totally combine with the frosting.
Pour out into a parchment lined stone, or let cool for a couple of minutes and press using the cookie press. Or, put into EAD and make "stars" of fudge.
