Place chocolate in a metal bowl. Heat cream, honey, and butter in a small saucepan until almost boiling and pour over chocolate. Leave for 1 minute, then stir well until chocolate has melted. Transfer chocolate ganache to a piping bag fitted with a small tip and decorate pumpkin flan. Refrigerate until serving.

Crème pâtissière, sometimes shortened to creme pat, is a rich and creamy vanilla pastry cream or thick custard that has the perfect consistency for filling eclairs, cream puffs, and fruit tarts.
Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix
This mild taco seasoning has a much lower salt content than pre-made. To keep salt content low, make sure chili powder does not contain salt. Salt can be omitted from the recipe, too. Great with half ground buffalo and half ground turkey breast or whatever you prefer. Buy bulk spices, and you can make 5-plus batches for under $1.00! Increasing black pepper and adding optional ingredients will increase heat. Using mild or regular chili powder and omitting optional ingredients will reduce heat.
