- Miami Food Network -

* I used crushed up sugar cookies from a failed recipe.
** Do not use baker's chocolate.
*** I used a flat metal measuring cup to help press down.
**** If you have unmelted chunks of chocolate in your ganache still, you can heat it up over a simmering double boiler on the stove.
