    This icing is a pourable one than a spreadable. But once you pour it over cakes or cupcakes or cookies, it sets over them like a crackable chocolate. But still taste fudgy and chocolaty when you bite into them. So give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you..

    1. Take sugar, butter and water in a sauce pan. Heat on low heat till it is all melted.
    2. Now take icing sugar and cocoa in a bowl and mix well using a whisk.
    3. Add in the chocolate liquid and whisk well. It will get thick and creamy.
    4. Set aside to cool. It will get thicker as it cools.
