Creative Chocolate Curls

Chocolate curls to decorate desserts are actually quite easy and fun to make.

Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of shortening in the microwave oven or on the stovetop.

Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap and pour the chocolate in.

Smooth the top a bit with a rubber spatula. Cover and refrigerate for about 2 hours until set.

Remove from the refrigerator and the loaf pan.

Using a vegetable peeler, peel the chocolate off the bar onto a cold plate.

Lift the curls from the plate with a toothpick or the tines of a fork and place on your dessert.

It will make any dish look irresistible!
