So I am doing a kind of last minute cake and I need to make chocolate ganache. I am out of whipping cream and I don't have time to run to the store today. Any ideas on using whole milk instead?

yup because the butter adds the fat. I might suggest adding a tad bit more butter.

Was wondering if you can use the almond bark chocolate to make the ganache? Or does it need to be a better/different chocolate?

Don't know about the bark, but I just use semi-sweet chocolate chips (whatever brand is on sale) and it has always turned out great and tasted scrumptious. icon_biggrin.gif
