Chocolate Curls

Martha Stewart Cupcakes
Directions
- Use a vegetable peeler to slice strips from a slightly warm block of good-quality chocolate (heat in microwave for 5-second intervals, checking after each, until just warm to the touch; do not overheat). To produce tight curls, start from the far edge of the chocolate and move the peeler toward you. The delicate curls are best used immediately; you can even shave the curls right onto a cupcake.
I'm having a hard time making this work. What sort of vegetable peeler should I be using?
Additional info found elsewhere on website:
Coils of chocolate make an impressive dessert garnish, and they are easy to make. Melt chopped sweet chocolate, pour it onto a flat surface, spread it to a thin, even thickness, and let cool at room temperature, or refrigerate for about 15 minutes. Scrape it off with a bench scraper, a wide metal spatula for cleaning dough from work surfaces. Or use a vegetable peeler to slice strips from a block of chocolate.
this is tempered chocolate poured onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet jelly roll pan with the sides ?? the chocolate has cooled perhaps refrigerated these directions appear to be missing something
"how to" do something by Martha, its a great help
