How to Make Chocolate Curls

• Place the chocolate block on a plate in a warm spot — by a sunny window, on top of the stove toward the back (not on a burner), on top of the refrigerator — for about an hour, just to lightly soften it.
• Drag a sharp vegetable peeler down one side of the chocolate in one motion from top to bottom so you create curls.
• They will vary in size, and some may just look like splinters, but that doesn’t matter.
• Use several handfuls of these curls on top of your frosted cake.,If you are making curls to use later in the day, transfer them to a sheet of aluminum foil, and refrigerate so they don’t soften and lose their shape.
• The remaining chocolate can be wrapped tightly and returned to the pantry to be used in future desserts, they’ll keep in freezer for up to 1 month.
