My Favorite Chocolate Icing

I should really say that this is my daughter's favorite chocolate icing.  It is a cross between a ganache and a glaze.  This icing does harden and fairly quickly.

The amounts listed easily cover a 13 x 9 cake.

3 Tbsps Unsalted Butter
1 1/2 Cups of Chocolate Chips (Semisweet works, Dark Chocolate Chips are delicious too)
1 Tsp Vanilla
1 1/2 Tbsps Light Corn Syrup
1 Tsp Hot Water

Melt butter in a small sauce pan over low heat.  Once butter is melted add the chocolate chips, vanilla and corn syrup.  Stir constantly until chocolate is melted and smooth.  It should only take a minute or two.  Remove from heat and add the hot water.  Stir to blend.  Pour icing immediately over cake/brownies/etc.
