Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine
  • 1/4 cup whole milk or milk alternative
  • 1 Tbsp light corn syrup
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 4 oz bittersweet or dark chocolate chopped
  • 2 cups icing sugar sifted

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan combine butter, milk, corn syrup, and vanilla over medium heat stirring until butter is melted. Reduce heat to low, add the chocolate, and stir until smooth.
  • Remove from heat and quickly whisk in icing sugar until smooth. If too thick, add a bit more milk until mixture is thin enough to dip (rewarm mixture over stove if necessary).
  • Invert a doughnut into the dip, pressing until it's halfway covered, lift up taking care not to drip down the side. Place on a wire rack for 1-2 hours to allow the glaze to set and harden. While dipping, if glaze is setting up too fast in saucepan, return to heat for a few minutes to soften, or place saucepan over a bowl of hot water.
