Chocolate-glazed refers to a food item that is coated with a layer of chocolate, typically made from melted chocolate or chocolate syrup. This glaze adds a rich, sweet flavor and a shiny appearance, enhancing the overall taste and visual appeal of the item. Common foods that are chocolate-glazed include doughnuts, cakes, and cookies. The process of creating a chocolate glaze usually involves melting chocolate and sometimes mixing it with ingredients like cream or butter to achieve a smooth consistency. Once the food item is prepared, it is dipped or drizzled with the chocolate mixture, allowing it to set and create a delicious outer layer.
