ganache

[Iniki]

I have a recipe to make ganache. It calls for 8 oz. bittersweet chocolate chopped into small pieces. I was wondering if I could use 8 oz. of dark chocolate chips instead? Can anyone answer this question?

Re: ganache

I've made ganache in the past, and yes, the dark chocolate chips will work just fine.

Re: ganache

Are the chocolate chips sweetened at all or are they bitter chocolate. If sweetened you might have to reduce the sugar in your recipe a little.
