About Chocolate glaze

Chocolate glaze is a coating or finishing layer with a chocolate character, applied to the surface of foods. The term describes its function and flavour style but does not determine whether it is made with chocolate, cocoa, or other ingredients.

A glaze is generally fluid enough to spread, brush, or pour before it sets or remains as a coating. It may form a smooth, shiny, or firmer surface, though appearance and texture depend on the formulation and application. It is used to finish items such as baked goods or confectionery.
