I would suggest using between 6 to 7 fluid oz of heavy cream for a pound of
chocolate, but definitely not more than a cup. (A cup will be quite soft. A
lot depends on whether you add anything else, such as invert sugar and
butter, and on how you plan to form them.) Add a pinch of salt to the cream
before heating it.
