Tips

For Dark Chocolate Ganache Cups, reduce the heavy cream to 1/4 cup and increase the bittersweet or dark chocolate to 4 ounces. Omit the confectioners' sugar and semi-sweet chocolate.  Stir the chocolate and heavy cream in a medium microwavable bowl.  Microwave on HIGH for 45 seconds or until the chocolate is melted.  Add the vanilla extract and stir until the mixture is smooth.  Spoon the mixture into the pastry cups and let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
