Chocolate spread as icing?

[AintNobodyHereButUsChickens]

I spotted a jar of Crunchie chocolate spread the other day, and I bought it on a whim because I love Crunchies. But I don't know what to do with it, I don't actually like chocolate on bread And it just hit me that I could use it to ice a chocolate cake! That would work wouldn't it? It sounds delicious anyway and I can't really see much of a difference between chocolate spread and (for example) Betty Crockers ready to use chocolate frosting!

Should do.
I've used nutella before, I can't recall exactly what I did but it was an icing sugar/nutella/milk paste i think.
It was good!
Report back please I know that a Bounty one exists also, I might try that!

Is it smooth? I wouldn’t like the texture when combined with sponge if it was gritty :/

It’s is very nice and sets well in the fridge.
I also use it in the cake mix

Straight from the jar with a spoon

I've done this before, just put it in a bowl/cup and heat in the microwave for a few seconds and it makes it more runny and spreadable

Lovely or use it as a filling for cupcakes / cookies

Don't know about the Crunchie one, but Nutella used neat makes a perfect icing - it is very forgiving and doesn't pull your cake apart at all.
