I made this except I used vanilla instead of rum. It was delicious. I will use this recipe from now on for this type of frosting or topping. I chilled it in the refrigerator until it thickened up and then beat it for a while and spread it over a Mounds Cake (aka, chocolate coconut cake) and it was a winner. Thanks Ingridevogel for posting this.

Its fantastic, however it was quite bitter so I added about 1/2 tbs of powdered sugar, and also added vanilla as well as rum.

Excellent taste. The process of getting the ganache just the right consistency for my purpose I am still working on, but really, not as scary to make as I thought. Thanks for the recipe.

Absolutely incredible!!! Made as instructed and it is THE chocolate topping/frosting/icing recipe to go to. Perfect pared with a not-so-sweet chocolate cake like Dark Chocolate Cake II on this site. CAUTION: have glass of cold milk on hand with this one :)

This is the best ganache! I used it on cupcakes...the shine, the taste...just awesome. I had enough to dip them twice. Turn them upside down, dip and twist..super easy. I'm a good baker and my friends still thought they were bought from a bakery!!
