CHOCOLATE GLAZE THAT HARDENS

Category: Glazes

1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup shortening or hard margarine
3 tbsp light corn syrup
2 tbsp plus 1 tsp water

In a 4-cup microwave-safe bowl combine all ingredients. Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes or until melted and smooth removing once or twice to stir. Allow to sit for about 5-7 minutes to allow to thicken slightly so that is will hold well to the cake. Slowly drizzle the glaze over the top of the cold cake allowing to drip down over the side. Refrigerate until ready to serve (the glaze will continue to harden more in the refrigerator).

NOTE: A perfect bundt cake glaze that will firm up nicely when drizzled over a cold cake that has chilled in the refrigerator it also is great over ice cream!
