Chocolate Glaze (That Hardens when Cool)

ISO: Chocolate Glaze that dries hard using cocoa and without... Saw this and found the answer. This would be good now with Valentine's Day is near. Try using it like those chocolate dips they have in ice cream shops; it hardens into a shell on the ice cream. Or use it to top your favorite cookie, cupcake, cheesecake, brownie, etc..

1 cup (change servings and units)

this is a good icing for a bundt type cake or brownies, but it is not at all like the hard shell you get on ice cream. This doesn't get that hard. To get the true hard shell chocolate, the type you can pick up with your fingers without it sticking to them is by using chocolate chips, butter and corn syrup.

    Very good. I used it on Beet Brownies. It hasn't been long enough for it to harden but so the glaze tastes great and is exactly what I needed.

    So easy and so very tasty. I used butter instead of margarine or oil because I prefer the taste of real butter. I used it on top of brownies and put it on when the brownies were about 5 minutes out of the oven. It spread so nicely and started to harden quickly. Looks smooth and rich. I put a little more cocoa in than called for and it was plenty chocolately. It's so rich and chocolately that it's surprising that it doesn't contain real melted chocolate & cream. I highly recommend this.
