Toblerone has to be one of the most popular chocolate bars out there. Their combination of Swiss milk chocolate and nougat is as close to perfect and their triangular shape is among the most recognizable in the world. But there is one small issue with them.

Breaking off Toblerone into individual pieces is quite challenging. Either you end up with half a piece or break it off cleanly but have chocolate all over your fingers. That is, of course, if you don’t use the correct technique.
