Method 4 steps
Melt the chocolate and margarine together in a double-boiler or, carefully, in a saucepan on low heat.
Mix in the vanilla extract and corn syrup, keeping the mixture somewhat hot.
Mix in the sugar, still keeping the mixture somewhat hot. You might not use the exact amount listed. Just keep adding sugar until the frosting is as thick as desired.
While still hot, spread the mixture on cake or brownies. Mixture will stiffen.
