- 2 Tablespoon With

Directions
To make the chocolate icing recipe yourself, roughly chop the chocolate. I have found that chopping the chocolate helps it to melt more evenly and avoid lumps.
Melt the butter in a small, heavy-based saucepan over a low heat. Don't worry if it takes a little while - patience is the key to a smooth glaze.
Once the butter is melted, add the chopped chocolate, coffee (if using) and honey. I recommend adding the coffee as it makes the chocolate deeper and richer, but it is optional.
Allow to melt, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth. Resist the temptation to increase the heat to speed up the process - you don't want your chocolate to burn!
Remove the pan from the heat and allow the icing to cool for about 5 minutes so that it thickens a little before spreading it over your cake or muffins.
Pour the chocolate icing over your cake or muffins and spread it evenly. Enjoy the praise of your loved ones!
