How to Use a Chocolate Chipper

After using a chocolate chipper for the first time, you'll never want to buy a bag of chocolate chips again. The chipper allows you to break off pieces of high-quality chocolate. There is no waxy coating like the bagged chocolate chips have. The chocolate chipper looks like a large fork with six thin and sharp metal fingers. It effortlessly pulls chocolate apart. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

    • 1

      Buy a bar of chocolate. Pick whatever flavor--white, milk or dark--you prefer.

    • 2

      Unwrap the bar and place it on a cutting board. You'll want to protect your counter top from being punctured or damaged.

    • 3

      Hold the chocolate chipper in your strong hand. Make sure the utensil is straight up and down.

    • 4

      Poke the chipper into the chocolate. Keep the utensil near the end of the chunk so you don't try to chip off too much chocolate at once.

    • 5

      Use both hands to press the chocolate chipper firmly into the chunk or block of chocolate. Put your weight behind it. Press down until it hits the cutting board.

    • 6

      Pull away the chocolate that you've separated. Go a little further into the block and press the chipper into the chocolate again. Repeat until you have enough chocolate chips for your recipe.

    • 7

      Wash the chocolate chipper with soap and water or put it in the dishwasher with your other utensils.

Tips & Warnings

  • Keep children away from the chocolate chipper's sharp teeth.
