Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Combine the butter and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat and stir until melted. (Be careful not to overheat the chocolate as it could seize.) 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.
- Sift the confectioners' sugar into a small bowl.
- Stir the sifted confectioners' 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.
- Slowly drizzle the chocolate glaze from the pot or bowl over your cooled, finish baked good. If desired, use a spatula to evenly distribute. How long the glaze will take to harden will depend on both the temperature of the glaze and the room. Once cool, it will harden.

Steps:
- 1. In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan (no larger than 2 quarts, or the mixture will reduce too rapidly and burn before it reaches the correct temperature) over high heat, bring the sugar, water, and chocolate to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Attach a candy thermometer to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, uncovered, stirring, until the mixture reaches 234°F., about 5 minutes.
- 2. Remove from the heat and stir to cool and thicken slightly, about 1 minute. Use immediately. When pouring, do not scrape the pan.

Steps:
- Make certain that the cake has been chilled in the fridge before starting the glaze.
- In a 4-cup pyrex bowl or measuring cup or a microwave-safe bowl combine all ingredients.
- Microwave on HIGH for about 2 minutes or until melted and smooth, removing once to stir.
- Allow to sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes to allow to thicken enough so that it will not run off the cake (test out the consistency by drizzling a small amount over the top of the cake).
- Drizzle over top of the cold cake, then refrigerate (the glaze will harden even more when refrigerated).

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the glaze will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Melt the chocolate slowly and carefully: Overheating the chocolate can cause it to seize, which will ruin the glaze.
- Make sure the glaze is the right consistency: The glaze should be thick enough to coat the food, but not so thick that it's difficult to spread.
- Work quickly: The glaze will start to set as soon as it cools, so work quickly to spread it on the food.
- Be creative: You can use chocolate glaze to decorate cakes, cookies, cupcakes, and other desserts. You can also use it to make candy and truffles.
Conclusion:
Chocolate glaze is a versatile and delicious way to decorate and flavor desserts. With a little practice, you can create beautiful and delicious glazed desserts that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a way to add a special touch to your dessert, give chocolate glaze a try!
