Note: An easy way to make chocolate curls:.
Melt a cup of chocolate chips with a teaspoon of Crisco shortening and pour (about 1/4-inch thick) on the back of an ungreased cookie sheet or baking pan.
Let it sit until it firms up (don't refrigerate) and then take a spoon and scrape a long line of chocolate.
It will curl as you scrape.
Or use small metal pancake turner to form curls.
Hold pancake turner at 45° angle and scrape chocolate into curls.
