Ingredients

8 oz Hershey’s Sugar Free Chocolate Chips *
⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon Heavy Whipping Cream
1 tablespoon Butter
¾ teaspoon Banana Extract
¾ teaspoon Rum Extract
¼-1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
Finely Chopped Pecans

Instructions

Place chocolate chips into a glass mixing bowl, and put aside.
On stovetop, bring heavy whipping cream and butter to a boil. Remove from heat, and stir in extracts and cinnamon.
Pour hot cream mixture into bowl of chocolate chips. Let sit for 3-5 minutes.
Starting in the middle of the bowl, slowly start stirring the chocolate and cream until all of the chocolate is melted the cream disappeared into it – it should be smooth.
Cover with plastic wrap, preferably resting right on top of the surface – this prevents a skin from forming while it cools. Chill in the fridge for a few hours, until it’s pretty solid.
(This MAY take overnight with the sugar free chocolate – After a couple hours, I was worried mine wasn’t going to set up. It did eventually!).
Once solid, scoop out small balls (a teaspoon or so, and roll them into balls. Try to handle the chocolate as quickly as possible, or it will melt.
Roll them in the pecans, and eat them!

Notes

* Hershey’s is the only brand I’ve experimented with. Chocolate is finicky, and due to formulation, I’d have to assume that sugar free chocolate is even more so. Go ahead and try this with other brands of sugar free chocolate, but you may find that you need more or less cream. If your ganache doesn’t firm up, you have a great chocolate sauce! If it’s too firm, remelt it and add a little warm cream to it.
