Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Martha Stewart cheerfully chops chocolate on her cooking show with an instrument like this, and now we can as well. This sturdy tool converts hard, thick baking-chocolate bars into chunks for cookies, sparing good kitchen knives when a recipe calls for you to break up chocolate before melting. It's even good for chipping ice for drinks or buffet displays. Overall, the tool measures 9 inches long, with a 5-inch hardwood handle and six pointed prongs that deliver satisfying blows. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful Tool for Bakers, February 10, 2007

This is a well made product that makes life much easier for bakers. It is perfect for chopping bulk chocolate and minimizes the time it would take if you were chopping chocolate with a knife. It is very sturdy and well-built.

5.0 out of 5 stars The right tool for the job, November 13, 2009

I buy the big blocks (5 kg) of Callebaut dark chocolate for baking. Until buying this great little tool, I used a 10" chef's knife to divide the block and chop the chocolate as necessary. For the unskilled or inexperienced, this can be dangerous and a little scary, and while it gets the job done, it feels clumsy and is none too great for the knife, either. Combined with a rubber mallet or a plastic-faced hammer, this is the right tool for this particular job. Great price for it, too.

NOTE: When using on the thick blocks, the mallet is not optional; the chipper doesn't work without it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as great as I'd hoped, August 4, 2008

I bought this primarily for breaking up chocolate in store-sized bars and was a little disappointed. I was hoping to make small, irregular chips. It makes pretty big chunks and they kind of fly around. It is very solid and well-made, and would probably be more useful on large bulk chocolate.
