Made them and they were well-received and tasty but even refrigerated for a day the ganache was not firm enough to be shaped w a 1:1 by weight. I wound up scooping it into the inside of the cake shell which worked ok but was a bit hard to contain. The basic ganache recipe linked to is much higher than 1:1 ratio and expect that would work better for the shapeable balls. Either way, tasty. Just mentioned the issue because instructions say 1 cup chopped chocolate to 1 c cream and that wouldn't be even 1:1 by weight as 1 cup chopped choc only came to 4-5 ounces for me. I used 8 ounces for each the second time around, was firmer but still never shapeable even w repeat refrigeration. Could use some clarification in the written directions, seems would be at least 2 cups chopped choc for a 1:1 by weight. Thanks!
