Glossy Chocolate Icing

Written By Deborah Griffith

2 teaspoons (4 tablespoons) melted butter
1 tablespoon cocoa
1 tablespoon golden syrup (available online; substitute corn syrup if necessary)
Few drops vanilla extract
Mix all ingredients well. This makes only a small amount of icing, about ¼ cup, but it is extremely rich and can be used as a decadent addition to many desserts.
