This dark and glossy glaze is a great addition to many cookies, cakes, pastries, and even ice cream that need a chocolate boost. Add it to a chocolate cookie and the glaze sends them over the top!

Why Try? Need a chocolate fix? This will definitely take care of it.

Foodie Byte: Very versatile, this glaze can be drizzled or applied with a small offset spatula. An easy way to coat cookies is by dunking them upside-down in this rich but somewhat thin icing. Makes 3/4 cup glaze

  1. In double broiler, melt butter and chocolate; stir until well combined.
  2. Remove from chocolate mixture from double broiler, add heavy cream and hot water. Stir until well blended.
