Boiled Chocolate Frosting..with Brown Sugar

[MollyGee]

There's someone picky I want to make a cake for. He described a chocolate frosting his mom used to make. It sounds like it's a boiled frosting, he mentioned dark chocolate ("but I don't like dark chocolate normally") and brown sugar as ingredients. Thoughts?

Thanks!

I have no idea, but my old girlfriend also mentioned this sort of frosting (she's from Germany, for what it's worth). I'll definitely be following this thread . . . hope someone comes up with the answer/recipe.
