I used semi sweet chocolate chips to make this and it was a bit bitter for me, so i added some honey to it to make it little sweeter. And also the addition of honey gave a nice shine to the ganache..You can use dark, milk or white chocolate for this as well.

Ingredients for Chocolate Ganache

  • Chocolate Chips - 1 ¼ cup ( I used semi sweet )
  • Cream - ½ cup
  • Honey - 1 tbsp
