- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, broken into chunks shopping list
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate shopping list

How to make it
- 1. Heat the whipping cream and butter together just to a simmer, then add chocolate. Remove from heat while chocolate melts. Add flavoring. Stir until glossy and pour into a chilled bowl. Set aside until firm.
- 2. Once firm, use a small melon baller and scoop ganache out. Roll by hand and set aside.
- 3. Melt 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate with 2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening in the microwave for about 1 minute. Stir until melted; microwave additional seconds as needed.
