Mrs. Anderson's Baking Chocolate Chipper
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
