See the perforations on the chocolate bar that let you eat just a tiny rectangle? This process would be easier if you didn’t have those on your chocolate bar… if the bar were just solid, so it wouldn’t break as you held it. Anyway…

Look at those little curling slivers.
Keep going until you have a pile like this… and a few broken pieces of chocolate bar you couldn’t curl without also curling your fingertips. Give the excess to the husband, and save these chestnut-colored treasures.

I’ll write about the open house tomorrow, I promise. For now, I’m sleepy!
I bet you can’t wait to break out the veggie peeler on your leftover Halloween candy, can you?
