The Only Chocolate Glaze You Need for Your Baked Goods

Gather the ingredients. The Spruce / Diana Chistruga Combine the butter and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring until melted. Alternatively, put the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on medium for about 1 minute. Stir and continue to heat for about 15 seconds at a time, stirring between intervals, until the chocolate and butter are melted and smooth. The Spruce / Diana Chistruga Sift the powdered sugar into a small bowl. The Spruce / Diana Chistruga Stir the sifted powdered sugar into the melted butter and chocolate. Beat the mixture, adding small amounts of boiling water until thinned as desired. If you happen to find it too thin, add a little more powdered sugar. If too thick, add more hot water. The Spruce / Diana Chistruga Slowly drizzle the chocolate glaze from the pot or bowl over your cooled, finish baked good (such as a cake, cookies, brownies, doughnuts, etc.). If desired, use a spatula to evenly distribute. How long the glaze will take to harden will depend on the temperature of the glaze and the temperature of the room. Once cool, it will harden.
