    Tips for Garnishing Sweets with Chocolate

    Recipe




    These can be made from any kind of chocolate but milk
    chocolate is the easiest to work with. Use a bar that
    is over 1/4 inch thick. Milk chocolate doesn't need to
    be warmed before shaving; other chocolates should stand
    in a warm place (80-85 degrees) for about 10 minutes.

    For shavings:

    Just use a vegetable peeler or a cheese server shave the
    edge of the chocolate bar using short, quick strokes.
    Use a toothpick to transfer larger shavings to the
    dessert without breaking.

    For Curls:

    Also using a vegetable peeler, shave long strands from
    the smooth side of the chocolate for smaller curls or
    the wide side of the chocolate for larger curls.

    * You can also freeze these and store in a ziplock bag
    for a delicious garnish for those coffee drinks or
    sundaes.
