Chocolate Ganache

According to Joy of Cooking, a ganache is a sleek, rich coating on a European torte, or the center of a rich chocolate truffle. I have adapted the old standard from this amazing cookbook, which is the most dog-eared in my collection. I like this recipe best with Triple Chocolate Cupcakes (page 33) or Almond Fudge Cupcakes (page 38).
