How To Make bonnie's chocolate cream cheese frosting

• 
  Step 1
  ~~SUGGESTION~ If you wish, you can add 3 to 4 rounded tablespoons of dry Maxwell House hazelnut powdered coffee from the tin to this recipe.(when you add in the cocoa) for a rich chocolate coffee-tasting frosting. To see if you like the optional idea before adding it to the frosting, add a little of the coffee powder to a tablespoon of the finished frosting to taste it.

  Step 2
  Optional Maxwell House Hazelnut coffee powder. LET'S MAKE THE FROSTING:

  Combine the butter and cream cheese in a large bowl and use a hand mixer to beat the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl while you are adding the ingredients.

  Add in the salt and vanilla.

  Step 5
  ~NOTE~ I use Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa powder and powdered sugar.

  On the lowest speed, slowly add the powdered sugar until it is mixed thoroughly, then add the cocoa powder (If you are using it, add the optional coffee powder now) and beat until the mixture is well combined and fluffy. That is it. You are done!
