I used to use one of those mini ice cream scoops and sort of “scraped” across a not-so -deep casserole dish full of ganache, un-scoop the portions onto a plate for a few more minutes chilling time. This would really shorten the amount of time my warm hands would be touching the chocolate, because they’d be somewhat ball-shaped before I’d roll them in my hands. Another trick for peeps with warm hands is wearing two pairs of latex gloves….

Those look great! I’m a fellow TWD baker, and I was thinking that it would be nice if we all could chip in and get Laurie some small token/gift for all the work she does. Would you be willing to contribute? If I can get enough people, it would only be about $1 per person. No pressure Let me know! bethberg12@yahoo.com

I’m so glad that these worked out for you, especially after the mess with round one! Although I’m not really a peanut fan, I love the chocolate peanut butter combination. I’m sure I would have put your co-workers to shame… ppppffftt! 6 each?? That’s nothing. I probably would’ve eaten them until I got a stomach ache.
