I did it once for the Banana Toffee Pizza with the crinkle cutter and that worked great. Should I use it again or try the chopper? Anyone try the chopper before? NO WAY I'm using the forged cutlery during a demo - before hand to prep, show and talk, but not using while talking - I KNOW better after my USG injuries :o :rolleyes: :D
 
Definitely try it with the food chopper! I found some bars tonight for the first time in awhile (so I cheated and got the heath bar pieces in the past) .....so I will definitely be showing this step. Probably with the food chopper!
 
I've used the chopper in the past for chocolate bars, works great.
 
Eat 'em! :D
 
You can also put them into a heavy plastic bag (freezer bag), and then pound the heck out of them with the Meat Tenderizer (flat side).
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best tool for chopping a Skor Bar?

The best tool for chopping a Skor Bar is a sharp chef's knife. Its wide blade allows for a clean cut, making it easier to chop the bar into smaller pieces without crushing it.

While Pampered Chef doesn't have a specific tool designed solely for chopping candy bars, their Classic Utility Knife or the Food Chopper can work well for this purpose. The utility knife provides precision, while the food chopper can quickly break down the bar into smaller pieces.

Should I refrigerate the Skor Bar before chopping it?

Refrigerating the Skor Bar for about 15-30 minutes before chopping can make it firmer and easier to cut. This helps prevent the chocolate from melting and makes for cleaner cuts.

What technique should I use to chop a Skor Bar effectively?

To chop a Skor Bar effectively, place it on a cutting board and use a rocking motion with your knife, applying even pressure. Start in the center and work your way outwards for uniform pieces. If using a chopper, press down firmly and evenly for best results.
