EASY CHOCOLATE CURLS:

Place a bar or block of chocolate on waxed paper. Make chocolate curls by

pulling a vegetable peeler toward you across the flattest side of the

chocolate, pressing firmly in long, thin strokes. Small curls can be made

by using the side of the chocolate bar. Transfer each curl carefully with a

toothpick to a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet or directly onto frosted

cake, pie or other dessert.

The curl will be easier to make if the chocolate is slightly warm, so let

the chocolate stand in a warm place for about 15 minutes before making

curls. Semisweet chocolate can be used but the curls will be small. Also,

the thicker the bar of chocolate, the larger your curls will be.
