[valeriab2610]

are the 3tablespoons of butter a third of the whole butter stick? or a bit less?

[bettyskitchen]

@valeriab2610 There are 8 tablespoons of butter in a stick. 3 tablespoons would be 3/8 of a stick of butter, which is a little more than a third of the stick.

is confectionares sugar and caster sugar the same?

[bettyskitchen]

@ggg59402 No, caster sugar is fine-ground granulated sugar. Confectioner's sugar is a mix of ultra-fine sugar and a starch; it is sometimes called icing sugar.

Wow looks like a great recipe to use, would normal chocolate be okay for this recipe and how many cups of frosting approx. does it make??

[bettyskitchen]

@SLurPeeRusH Yes, normal chocolate is fine. It doesn't make a huge amount of frosting, maybe about 2 cups.

[bettyskitchen]

@cascade2244 Yes, it is. You may substitute honey in place of the Karo syrup.
