Thanks for the recipe. I used it as a filling for The Only Chocolate Cake Recipe You'll Ever Need! (Devil's Food) and I had a great birthday cake for my daughter.

I think that the taste is good BUT for a first time cook it might be confusing trying to convert 5 1/3 ounces of butter to tablespoons. I made this make and I am not a first time cook so with that said my ganache came out very buttery and my chocolate seperated but somehow I was able to salvage it and managed to still ice my cake (there was NO WAY I was gonna let a whole pound of chocolate go to waste). Also, this recipe makes ALOT of ganache.

YUM! I used this to decorate Mean's own German chocolate cake. Terrific ganache--easy to make and easy to apply to the sides of that huge three-layer cake. It was also delicious. If you're making Mean's German chocolate cake recipe, though, and just using this to frost the sides, HALVE THE RECIPE! This made MUCH too much.

This is the one I have been looking for. Bittersweet chocolate made all the difference! Thank you for this easy recipe.
