    I was wondering if I can use candy melts? Also~can I use whole milk instead of whipping cream?

      Yes you can use candy melts and you can also use whole milk instead of the whipping cream but your ganache may be a little grainy.

    I’m wondering if I could use half-n-half instead of whipping cream. Do you think that will work?

      Yes you can! Half-and-half permanently thins down ganache. It will thicken as it cools, but it will remain more pourable than a traditional ganache. If it becomes too thick, heat it gently or add a bit more half-and-half. Just keep the ratios for the half-and-half the same as you would for the whipping cream.
