Tips:

  • To make the chocolate ganache, it is important to use high-quality chocolate that contains at least 50% cocoa solids. This will ensure that the ganache is rich and flavorful.
  • When melting the chocolate for the ganache, be sure to do so slowly and gently. Overheating the chocolate can cause it to seize and become unusable.
  • If the ganache is too thick, you can add a little bit of milk or cream to thin it out. Conversely, if the ganache is too thin, you can add a little bit of melted chocolate to thicken it.
  • When coating the butterballs in the chocolate ganache, be sure to use a fork or spoon to carefully roll them around until they are evenly coated.
  • Place the butterballs on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the ganache to set and firm up.
