Steps:
- Place the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl.
- Set the cook time to 2 minutes and start the microwave. Do not step away. Stop the microwave every 15-20 seconds and stir the chocolate with a rubber spatula. At first, the chocolate will still be solidified, but this will help to evenly distribute the heat.
- As soon as the chocolate is almost completely melted with only a few solid pieces left, remove it from the microwave. This will likely not take the full 2 minutes.
- Add the butter to the bowl and stir. The heat from the melted chocolate will melt the butter and the solid chocolate pieces to create a smooth glaze. Use immediately.

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.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the glaze will be. Use a chocolate that has a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overheat the chocolate: If the chocolate is overheated, it will seize and become grainy. Heat the chocolate slowly and gently, stirring constantly.
- Add a little bit of corn syrup: Corn syrup helps to prevent the glaze from crystallizing and becoming too thick. Add about 1 tablespoon of corn syrup for every 6 ounces of chocolate.
- Use a double boiler: A double boiler is the best way to melt chocolate without overheating it. Place a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Add the chocolate to the bowl and stir until it is melted.
- Let the glaze cool slightly before using it: If the glaze is too hot, it will run off the food. Let the glaze cool for a few minutes before pouring it over the food.
Conclusion:
Chocolate glaze is a delicious and versatile topping for a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you can create a perfect chocolate glaze that will impress your friends and family.
