Chop the chocolate in to small even size pieces and place in a microwaveable bowl. The amount of chocolate you will need will depend on the size and quantity of the leaves you are making. It takes roughly one half ounce for a two to three inch leaf.
Using the pastry comb work from the center of the chocolate and drag the comb out at an angle away from the center in both directions
Lift the wax paper by the opposite two corners and staple them together so that the leaf is curled. Use the clothes pin to clip the sling on to a small glass or cup. This will help to hold the curled shape while the chocolate sets up. Place the leaves clipped to the cup in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
Carefully tear apart the stapled corners and carefully peel the paper back from the leaves. Avoid handling them with your fingers as your body temperature will melt them.
