    Yeah, so buying chocolate in bulk slabs turns out to be wildly impractical. Fun though.

    Reminds me of the time I used my hacksaw to break up a rather thick slab of chocolate I’d bought (standing on it got me most of the way, but splitting it into bite-sized pieces would have required more downward force than my weight could provide).

    Of course, the sawblade didn’t actually cut it well at all, but it did generate enough heat to melt through it.

    Yeah, I have a strategy and its wrapped in towels and whack with granite rolling pin like I’m beating it until it cracks my counter top.

      Honestly even with a a 10lb sledgehammer impact didn’t do much, I think this lump was just too thick (or powerful!)

    could break off a chunk and place it in a double boiler then pour into molds or just drip on parchment paper add another layer and drip more. should end up with flat round chips.
