These must be it! Trying to decide how soft the ganache is so they could be shipped. I mean, nothing wrong with scraping the ganache off the lid and reapplying or just licking the fingers, but you know.... Thanks for all the great recipes!

That's what most recipes use by default; anything else is specified. Hope that helps. Hi yvonne — It’s white sugar. That’s what most recipes use by default; anything else is specified.

I didn't use any salt, but I did use one stick salted butter, one stick unsalted, and they turned out great! I will definitely be adding this recipe to my collection and have already promised a batch to my family the next time I visit them. These were wonderful!

Is it white sugar or brown sugar? I used white. Thank you for great recipes on your website! And the photos are amazing!

Well I'm on a diet, but my family says they are :) My 9 year old son actually moaned when he took the first bite! Oh these things are so good!
