Simple recipe, very customisable, but needs more careful mixing than it says or it will go grainy!
The first time I made it, i got lumps. Was still a good hit on biscuits! But I mixed it different the next time, for a smooth fudgy biscuit icing.
I melted the butter in a pot, sifted the dry ingredients into it slowly, and mixed thoroughly, mashing with a fork until it was an even crumble - staying in the pot on the slowly cooling stove. Only once it was perfectly mixed I added the hot water, just a few drops at a time. Kept it warm while spreading the biscuits. Came up fudgy and yum.
I also found you can reduce the sugar somewhat by changing 1/4 cup of the icing sugar for 1/4 cup of cornflour. No noticeable difference, still very sweet, maybe could do more.

Method
Place Chelsea Icing Sugar and cocoa powder in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Add softened butter and pour some of the hot water over the top.
Mix together with a knife or spatula, adding more water as required to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.
Use to ice muffins, cakes or desserts.
