How to Make Chocolate Curls

Microwave chocolate on HIGH for a few seconds or just until you can smudge the chocolate with your thumb. Hold the chocolate steadily and draw a vegetable peeler slowly across to form curls.

I made this for a Cinco de Mayo party and it came out perfectly; some who reviewed it said that it came out soggy, but I think I may know why: The recipe calls for a devils food cake mix that can be poured into a variety of pan sizes; I DID buy a mix that showed this on the package; some mixes show only a 9 x 13 pan, and those boxes had about an ounce less cake mix. The cake I made was moist but held its shape when scooped by a large serving spoon/spatula. It looked appealing and appetizing and the flavor was very good. We arrived late to the large party but within an hour and a half the whole thing was eaten.

Making this right now. Coolwhip has a chocolate frosting topping in the freezer aisle with the regular stuff so I'm going to give that a try!

Very easy to make and DELICIOUS!! I made it for a block party and hardly had to clean the pan because it was all but scraped clean!

Made this cake using a gluten-free chocolate cake mix for Christmas dessert. Delicious! Cool, not too heavy - everyone loved it.
