The BEST darn chocolate buttercream frosting ever!!!!!

1. 1 stick of butter
2. 1/2 cup cocoa( I use Hersheys powder baking kind)
3. 4 cups powder sugar (I use any kind I have in the house.)
4. 1/4 cup half and half or reg milk if you don't have the other
5. 1/4 cup shortening( just fluffs it up a bit!)
   

• Beat butter on high for about 30 seconds
• Add cocoa and 1 cup of p. sugar beat until well incorporated.
• Add half of the milk and the remainder of the p. sugar and beat till incorporated.
• Continue to add milk until you get the consistency you want.
