Chocolate Frosting

My Chocolate Frosting:

1/2 c. Crisco
1 lb. Powdered Sugar (~ 4 c.)
1/4 to 1/2 c. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1/4 c. Boiling Water
1 t. Vanilla

Whip up crisco on high in your mixer until light and fluffy.  Mix in half of the powdered sugar until combined.  Pour in cocoa powder (depending on your tastes) and boiling water.  Mix on medium until well combined.  Then mix in the rest of the powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and combined.  (Frosts a 9 x 13 cake or about 24 cupcakes)
