   ["Before you begin, keep 2 things in mind: First, you can make your Eiffel Tower any size you like, however there is a template is provided with this recipe that you should base your design on, and second, when using chocolate, be sure to work slowly and carefully.", "The first part of the tower you should make is the base.", "Spread the white chocolate on a parchment paper-lined work surface.", "When the chocolate is partially set, use an X-acto knife to cut a base that is large enough to accommodate the bottom of your tower.", "Using the template provided, cut the aluminum flashing into the shape of a side of the Eiffel Tower, being sure to make all of the cutouts.", "If you start with a small tower, you will have more success.", "Lay a parchment paper-lined sheet pan that is as large as your template on the work surface.", "Spread the bittersweet chocolate over the baking sheet.", "Make it thicker at 1 end (where you will place the bottom of the template) to create support for the height of the tower.", "When the chocolate is partially set, place the aluminum template on the chocolate and use an X-acto knife to trace it.", "Remove the template.", "Pick up the chocolate panel by the corners of the parchment paper and move onto a new sheet pan.", "Place a couple of rulers under the bottom of the chocolate panel, creating a curve at the bottom of your tower.", "Allow chocolate to set.", "When set, peel up the tower panel from the parchment paper, freeing it from the excess chocolate surrounding it.", "Cut 3 more tower panels using the same process.", "Make sure the curves in each piece are the same or your tower will not work.", "The next step is to assemble the tower, however assembly will be easier if you enlist the help of a friend.", "Place the base on your work surface.", "Use bittersweet chocolate to \"glue\"" the bottom half of two sides together creating a 90-degree angle
