Equipment
- Vegetable Peeler
- Waxed paper or parchment paper
Ingredients
- 3.5 ounce chocolate bar
Instructions
- Prepare a plate, pan, or other surface with a layer of wax paper or parchment paper so you can catch your chocolate shavings -- and move them around, as needed.
- Hold the chocolate bar in one hand, at a bit of an angle, and a vegetable peeler in the other. Using long, even strokes, run the vegetable peeler along the side of the chocolate bar.
- Place your chocolate shavings in the refrigerator until you are ready to use them.
- Any leftover chocolate shavings or curls can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator or freezer.
- A 3.5 ounce bar should produce almost one cup of chocolate shavings.
