Forecasting chocolatey showers.

Chocolate lover? What a coincidence. Us too, which is why we were delighted to meet this handy Boska shaver. It creates sweet flakes for bread, cappuccinos, cake, dessert...anything you want to top with that sumptuous cocoa flavor, really. Simply drop a piece of your favorite chocolate into the stainless steel and ceramic flaker, rotate the stainless steel lid, and voilà! (Talk about a perfect way to use all those leftover bits of artisan dark chocolate in the pantry.) Both pieces zip through the dishwasher when you’re finished. Oh, and hey...this one’s great for Parmesan, too.

Willy Wonka approves this message...and these recipes:

• The easiest way to melt chocolate is right under your nose.
• The sweetest things to dip in chocolate fondue.
• Alice Medrich's legendary grilled chocolate sandwiches.
• The creamiest vegan chocolate sorbet you'll ever meet.
• What to pair with chocolate (no matter what kind of chocolate or where you're devouring it).
