Also, for the Friday before Halloween I made these babies for everyone at work! Who doesn't love a chocolate ganache ball dipped in chocolate on a stick?

Ganache:
8 ounces (1 1/2 cups) bittersweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups (12 ounces) bittersweet chocolate chips
Toppings:
You can use any kind of topping you would like but i use:
1 cup chopped peanuts
1 cup chocolate sprinkles
1 cup of white sprinkles
1 cup of orange sugar crystals

For the ganache: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium stainless steel or glass bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy. Set the bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water and stir occasionally until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth, about 6 minutes. Whisk in the cinnamon. Refrigerate the ganache until very firm, about 2 hours. Using a 1-ounce cookie scoop or a round tablespoon measure, scoop the ganache into 18 (1-inch) round pieces and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Working quickly, with dry hands, roll the mixture into balls. Put a pop stick into each ball and freeze, stick side up, until firm, about 30 minutes.

Cook's Note: If the scooped ganache is too sticky to roll into balls, put the pan in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to harden.
Hope everyone one had a safe and fun weekend!
Yum those ganache balls look good! And very festive! Happy Halloween!
