Reese's Pieces Fall Bundt Cake

Here's what you'll need:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
 1 - Bundt Pan (simple design) brushed well with Pan Release Mix. (equal parts of Crisco, Vegetable Oil and Flour) I start with 1 C of each mixed well and refrigerated in a jar. I always have it available for all of my baking needs.

16 TBS Butter, room temperature.
8 oz. Sour Cream
3 C Granulated Sugar
6 Large Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla
2 1/4 C Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
3/4 C Cocoa (the best you can afford) I use Ghirardelli Unsweetened Cocoa.

Chocolate Ganache Ingredients:
1 C Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Chips
1/2 C Heavy Cream

2 (1.53 oz.) packages of Reese's Pieces Candy, divided.
