Tips & Extras:

Remember that chocolate contains fat. Cream contains fat + water. Butter contains fat + water, and liquid flavorings are liquid. All these ingredients contribute the fat + liquid ratios contained in a chocolate ganache.
The chocolates used in the examples were couverture chocolates, those which contain a high percentage of cocoa butter. Specifically, the examples used cream ganaches formulated with Valrhona 66% cacao and Valrhona 61% cacao. These principals about broken chocolate ganaches apply to all ganaches.
Remember that milk and white chocolate are more sensitive to high temperatures and generally are handled at lower temperatures than dark chocolate. Fixing these ganaches with the same approaches applies.
