It's butter like you've never tasted! Spread it on nut bread, banana bread or raisin-bread toast.

1/2 cup unsalted butter or regular butter
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon chocolate flavoring
1/8 teaspoon salt (optional)

In a medium mixing bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer for 30 seconds. With mixer on low speed, add powdered sugar, a little at a time, beating until combined.

Add the cooled chocolate, vanilla extract, chocolate flavoring and salt, if you like. Beat until smooth. Cover and chill in refrigerator.

Serve at room temperature.
