Chocolate Glaze

This glaze is a little different than the traditional sugar glaze posted. You can use this for trimming a holiday bread, spiff up a refrigerator cookie or replace a frosting on angel food or chiffon type cakes.

Chocolate Glaze

Ingredients:

• 2 oz unsweetened chocolate (bakers chocolate)
  
• 3 Tbsp butter
  
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  
• 3/4 tsp vanilla
  
• 2 Tbsp hot water
  

Melt the chocolate and butter over a very low heat. I like to use a double boiler to melt chocolate to help prevent it from burning.
Remove from heat and stir in the sugar and vanilla.
Start adding the water 1 teaspoon at a time until the glaze is of proper consistency.
