    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..

        ganache needs cream and compound chocolate or dark chocolate bar. Dairy milk wont work.
