There are many ways to make chocolate curls. We think making chocolate curls with a vegetable peeler is the easiest. Using a candy bar is the simplest method with consistent results. Our family has been using this method for 50 years!

To make a curl, use a standard vegetable peeler on a large, room temperature milk chocolate bar (no nuts).

Gently peel strips off the bar, rotating as the chocolate warms in your hands. Try to dig into the bar a little and get a grip on the chocolate. If you have cold hands, or you can't shave curls off the bar, consider placing the chocolate bar in the microwave for 10 seconds ONLY.
