I think that it is chocolate ganach that is poured just along the edge and only let drizzle down a little. Their is a receipe here for ganach. HTH

If this is what you are talking about, yes it is ganache.

Maybe try adding a smidge of whipping cream to it before u pour it on.. not sure, but it just might do the trick.

You could do it just by melting the chocolate, but it'd work best if you put some cream. It'd make it runnier and just overrall better. HTH.

OK, I've never done a cake like this, but what about candy melts?? I was playing with them today and it seems that they might do the job. HTH

I would think that if you just melted chocolate you would have a difficult time cutting through the chocolate. The ganache is very pliable and very easy to slice through.
