I’m excited to be finally posting online after all these years. There really is no mystery about it, is there? I just dropped by your blog and had to write. I’m a recent college grad, journalism major if you must know, and I love photography. I’ve got my site up but it’s nothing to brag about yet. None of my stuff’s been posted. Soon as I figure out how to do that, I’ll spend the afternoon posting my best pictures. anyway just thought I’d drop a line. I hope to return with more substantial stuff, stuff you can actually use.

Go for the coffee grinder! I use mine for everything.

put the choclate in the freezer for a couple hours if you can-then use the blender for short burst-don’t keep it running. The coffee grinder will only melt and gum up-the blender if you leave it on too long will melt the choclate. So freezing it will let it get cut to ‘chips’ faster. Otherwise put the chips on a paper plate on a cutting board after freezing, and use a chef’s knife (french knife) and cup the chips against your hand and carefully chop them up. Easy when you know how-painful and bloody if you dont.
Those handy ‘spring loaded’ cutters for nuts and small fruit work great for this if you have one.

i would try the coffee grinder. i use mine to chop small portions of things like herbs all the time. you may try a small amount in both to see if you need a slower speed than the grinder.

Use "pulse" on your processor. The coffee grinder will heat up and melt the chocolate.

You can use your coffee grinder, but clean it afterward really well or all your coffe will taste like chocolate. Could be good though.

coffee grinder if it doesnt get to hott when you use it, so the chocolate doesnt melt. but when I add chopped chocolate chips to any of my baking i usually just take the time to grate it through a cheese grater. It looks awesome for garnish when you do that.
