To Decorate

1. Allow ganache to cool to around 105 degrees or feels just warm to the touch and has the viscosity of hot fudge

2. Place ganache in disposable pastry bag or heavy duty zip lock bag. Twist top of bag above chocolate to remove air. Starting with just a little cut just enough for the ganache to start leaving the bag. You can always cut more but better to work your way up.

3. Start decorating eyes and have fun!
