Default Christmas Candy making hath begun!

I sure hope it turns out good!

I just made an eggnog flavored ganache to make Eggnog Truffles. 2.5lbs
of dark (65% cocoa) chocolate, a little less than 2 cups of egg nog,
3/4 stick of butter and a little less than 1 tsp nutmeg. I have it
chilling now. I tasted a bit, and it tastes too dark/bitterish!

Dunno how this is gonna work out. I'm using 65% Organic Free Trade
chocolate from chocoley.com this year. It's my new favorite chocolate.
I'm fearing that it may be too dark (too much cocoa) for sweet candy.
But I made this batch of ganache, so I'm gonna see how it works out.
