Very easy and very tasty! Mine didn't harden completely, but was more like a thick, sweet icing. Good though, and handy for cake and brownies.

PERFECT! Simple, easy, on-hand ingredients - fast - tasty - & the shiny presentation was awesome! To say nothing of the fact that this recipe pulled me out of the fire at the last minute. THAT MEANS FIVE STARS!! ***** Thank you so much!

This was very easy to make. I combined the chocolate and butter in a bowl and heated it in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring between, until it was melted. I frosted cupcakes by dipping the cupcake upside down into the bowl and putting in the fridge to cool. I was surprised at the tastiness and pleasant texture. I will definitely use this again on cakes, cupcakes, brownies, etc. etc.

This was very easy to make. I used Hershey's espresso dark chocolate because that's what I had in the pantry, and it made a shiny, incredibly rich glaze.

It was easy to make, and looked very nice, but I just didn't think it tasted perfect. Next time I will add Vanilla or almond extract to give it a little something extra. It stayed liquid long enough to work with, but set up nicely as soon as I put the cupcakes into the refrigerator.

I used this glaze to top filled cupcakes and it was perfect! I took the advice of another reviewer and microwaved chocolate chips and butter, stirring every 15 seconds. For a perfect finish on the cupcakes, I dipped and swirled. After about 1/2 hour in the fridge, they had set beautifully. Not too rich or sweet and incredibly simple, I will definitely use this glaze again.

Another nice thing about this recipe is that you can pour the glaze on top of a warm cake. (I did it with a 11x7" pan). Just tilt the pan to distribute the glaze. Great when you're in a hurry and don't want to wait for the cake to cool in order to frost it. Thank you!

Very simple, looked and tasted great! I followed a reviewer's advice and substituted a heaping cup of semi-sweet choc chips. I made this glaze to top the 'Chocolate Lovers Favorite Cake' on this site. We enjoyed this dessert after our Father's Day dinner and the entire family agreed it was the best cake ever! Gone in 60 seconds!

Good glaze. Plenty of working time, does NOT harden fast. Was worried it would set to quickly. Had to put in fridge to get it to set.

Very good!! Silky and easy to spread. But must work quickly, like it says in here, because it gets hard really fast!! It "survived" a hot day, great!

Wonderful thick rich chocolate that holds it shape without being hard. Used this on flourless chocolate cake II from this site that I made in mini muffin tins. I was able to stack these mini cakes with no sticking!

This was so easy. I figured out that I could just use a little over a cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in place of the squares. I was looking for the recipe that would taste like a candy bar on the cake and this does.

I used this on sugar cookies: I dipped my Hallowe'en cat cookies right into the bowl. It made a tasty, firm (not hard) coating. I made half a recipe, and used chocolate chips: 1/4 cup of cold butter with 5 oz of chips in the microwave for one minute, then stirred. They were awesome cookies!
