From LA Times

Ingredients

• 1 pound bittersweet or semisweet chocolate (chips or finely diced)
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup water
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons corn syrup
• Pinch salt

Preparation

Step 1

1. Place the chocolate in a large bowl.

2. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, cream, water, vanilla, corn syrup and salt. Bring to a good simmer over high heat. Remove from heat.

3. Pour the cream mixture over the chocolate and gently stir to combine, melting the chocolate and forming a glaze.

4. The glaze will thicken as it cools. The glaze will keep for up to 1 week, covered and refrigerated. Rewarm slightly to thin.
