A variety of frosting tweaks

I bought some storebought cake mix & frosting to make birthday cupcakes for a friend, but I decided that it wasn't enough to just bake them & frost them.  Instead, I tweaked the frosting into four different types, and they all turned out awesome.
  1. Vanilla - Straight out of the tub.
  2. Chocolate - Mixed about 2 spoonfuls of frosting with about 1 spoonful of cocoa powder.  Melted about 1/2 a shot glass worth of chocolate chips & mixed them in.  Added hemp milk until it was the right consistency again.  It's still got little chunks in it -- I think from the chocolate, and they only appeared after adding the milk -- but it's delicious.
  3. Chocolate chip cookie - A friend (in fact, the one whose birthday it is) left a little less than half of a container of store-bought mini almond chocolate chip cookies here last time he was over.  I tossed four of them into the food processor, turned them into powder, mixed them in with the frosting, and added milk until it returned to the correct consistency.
  4. Peanut butter - Two parts frosting, one part peanut butter.  Goes super well with the chocolate cupcakes.
