Is there a simpler way to chop up a 10lb. block of chocolate other than using a chocolate chipper and a small hammer?

No
Forget the chipper and use a large hammer!
I have a chipper that I bought 30 years ago and it works a lot better than the current ones.
It's extremely sharp !
My business partner got ahold of some new versions and sharpened them up. Worked better, but it's never much fun.Now we only use blocks when we can't get Pistoles.
I know a Pastry Chef that would just smash the blocks onto the floor and then bang the large chunks onto the side of the workbench.
Thanks for the response. I also bang the block on the cement after I put it into two large plastic bags. Thanks for the idea of sharpening the chipper. I'll try that.
Thanks for the suggestion.
thanks too it could not been simpler!
I use a chisel from the hardware store and a large rubber mallet. I found it works much better than the chocolate chipper -- it's sharper.
I buy callets for dark chocolate and just use a chipper for the milk chocolate.
Thanks for the great suggestion. By the way, since I have been using a hammer on my chipper, the wooden handle began to split so I taped it up very well to preserve it as long as possible.
the chisel has a hard plastic handle -- much more durable!
I second the chisel. It's way better than the chipper.
Thanks, I'm going to buy a chisel.

The headline says it all: United Cacao: the sad tale of when things really go wrong for Aim investors .
Two changes we made with the chocolate is that this time we winnowed the chocolate. This time we didn't use a blow dryer to melt the chocolate. Two improvements with the chocolate is that the melanger didn't get clogged this time and everyone put in work.
