For small curls, scrape a block of chocolate with the wide end of a pastry bag tip. For larger curls, use a vegetable peeler. If the chocolate is too brittle and doesn’t curl, heat it for a few seconds in a microwave. If the curls are too soft and won’t hold their shape, let the chocolate cool or stick it in the refrigerator a few minutes.
