pour over as a glaze, or whip it for an icing. If you don't like the sweetness level you could use milk chocolate for sweeter ganache, or bitter-sweet for less sweetness. Be sure to use fresh or good quality chocolate.

How To Make chocolate ganache

Step 1

heat the cream until its simmering. Don't get frustrated while you're waiting and blast it up to high heat, medium to low heat is safer.

Step 2

once its simmering (little bubbles are appearing), stir in the rum, and pour over chocolate stir
Step 3

don't get discouraged, even though it looks like it can't mix at first, just keep stirring and it should eventually mix. At this point, you can dump it over a frosted cake for a smooth look, or wait for it to cool and whip it for a rich chocolately frosting.
