If you’re looking to substitute ingredients, feel free to swap unsalted butter for salted butter, just reduce any additional salt in the recipe. Using a dairy-free alternative for the butter and milk can keep it vegan-friendly, though it may slightly change the texture. For those with allergies, check that your chocolate is free from nuts and other allergens, and ensure all your baking ingredients are certified gluten-free if necessary. Quality chocolate is essential for the ganache, so choose a brand you truly enjoy.
