Ok so I looked up the chocolate ganache recipe on here and it says that I need one ounce of sugar. Is that right?

im not sure about the sugar, im just learning too about ganache. but all the recipies ive found say, just semi sweet chips and heavy cream. no other ingredients.

The recipe I use is 1/2 cup cream and 400g chocolate. It doesn't need any extra sweetening.

I used the recipe from here last week with the little sugar in it, it came out fine. Yummo.

the ganache recipe I use only uses cream and choc no sugar. I guess really the only thing it would do is make it sweeter again, maybe just think about how sweet you really need it to be. Hope that helps.

I added sugar to the recipe because I used a good bittersweet chocolate and added that little sugar (1oz=2tblsp) because it just took the bitter off for the kids. I've also added it to semisweet and it's fine
