Hello all,

I have made ganache before, using semi sweet chocolate chips and cream (in the past I used half and half), and it has always turned out great. Today I made it using a different brand of chocolate chips (Kirkland), and heavy whipping cream. I left it on the counter covered for about 6 hours and when I went to use it, there was some oily, jelly type stuff sitting on top of part of it. What happened?! Can it still be used? I gave it a good mix and it looks and tastes fine, so I put it in between the layers of a chocolate cake which I’ll be completing tomorrow. But now I’m worried that the ganache in between the layers will be disgusting by Saturday (it’s for my sons birthday party).  Should I refrigerate it? Scrap it? Ive only done filled and stacked it and now it’s covered well in Saran Wrap. 

help!
