Candy Hack: How to Fix Ganache Gone Wrong

Hello, December! For many candy makers and chocolatiers this is the busiest time of the year. That’s why, for the next four weeks, we’re sharing some of our favorite candy hacks—quick and easy solutions to common confectionery conundrums.

This week we’re sharing a quick fix for ganache if the chocolate and the fat separates. RCI member Robert Baker, of Sweet Tooth Candies, shares that instead of throwing out the batch, simply lay a sheet of butcher paper over the bowl of ganache for a minute or two. The paper will absorb the excess fat, leaving a smooth and silky ganache.
