Satiny Chocolate Glaze

Mia and I were making cream puffs for one of her activity days activities and I was running short on time to make the frosting that we used the last time that we made these.  I found this recipe and it's much better than the old one.  It's super easy and so yummy!

Satiny Chocolate Glaze

"A glossy chocolate glaze to drizzle over a Bundt cake. It's also great on cookies and doughnuts."

Ingredients

3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

3 tablespoons butter

 1 tablespoon light corn syrup

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips, butter and corn syrup at 30-second intervals, stirring after each until mixture is smooth.  Do not overcook.  Add vanilla and stir until fully incorporated. 

Spread warm glaze over top of cake, letting it drizzle down the sides.  Or dip cream puffs, donuts, cookies, etc. into glaze.  Use while warm.  If it starts to cool and thicken, microwave for 10-15 seconds at a time and stir. 

*The original recipe said to melt the chocolate, butter and corn syrup in a double boiler on the stove.  You can use that method if you prefer, but the microwave is so much faster!  :)
