Ingredients
- chocolate bars, use dark chocolate for an intense golden look
- clean cutting board and knife
- vegetable peeler, sharp knife or cheese grater
- gold luster dust, make sure it’s edible
Directions
For larger, thinner curls, use a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife. Glide it gently over the surface of the chocolate, allowing curls to form naturally.
For finer gratings, a cheese grater can be employed. Rub the chocolate against the grater’s fine side to create a snowy texture.
Add the shredded or grated chocolate to a plastic container with a lid. Take edible golden luster dust and dip the tip of a brush in it. Add this over the chocolate.
Close the plastic container and gently shake it until all the chocolate is coated in the the golden dust.
