120ml hot water
226gr butter
63gr icing sugar
60ml corn syrup / honey
First, melt the chocolate either in the microwave or in a double boiler, which ever you prefer.
Transfer it to a mixing bowl, preferably a mixer with the paddle attachment.
Add the hot water all at once and mix until well combined.
It will now be a muddy mess, but do not be alarmed
Add the softened butter and mix well.
Next add the confectioners sugar and mix well.
Add the corn syrup last (Yes this is a necessary ingredient here, it will give elasticity to the icing for spreadability and prevent crystallization)
