Chocolate Buttercream (The best ever!)

Makes enough for about 30 cupcakes

Ingredients
8oz unsalted butter, at room temperature
2.5 cups icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
4oz semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled

Instructions
1. Whip the butter on medium-high speed for 5 minutes (using stand mixer).
2. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the powdered sugar. Once all of the powdered sugar is incorporated, increase the speed to medium-high and add the vanilla, mixing until blended. Add the melted chocolate, whip at medium-high speed until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes), scraping down the bowl as needed.

This can be stored for a couple of weeks in the fridge - it'll just need re-whipping before using.
