Hi.. all the recipes for ganache I have looked at call for semi sweet chocolate.. Has anyone used Dark Chocolate instead?? I didn't want that chocolate chip taste so I got dark chocolate.. just wondering if it made a huge difference.. thanks

you can use dark here are the ratios;

Ordinary Dark: 1 pound dark chocolate to 1 cup (8 ounces) heavy cream .. Used as a glaze or beaten to a "buttercream-like" texture for cake fillings and/or frostings

Rich Dark: 1 pound dark choc to 12 ounces heavy cream.. Same as ordinary dark.

Truffle Dark: 1 pound dark choc to 16 ounces heavy cream.. Beaten to a thick and velvety texture for fillings

Someone?? anyone?? opinions?? Anything?? plezzz.. I need reassurance.. I should have got semi sweet... darn..

I dont count as a response???
