Steps:
- Put the chocolate bars in the freezer for about 10 minutes. This will help you grind them in the food processor without the chocolate melting.

- Break the candy canes into pieces and add to the food processor. Pulse until they are ground. Add to the cocoa powder mixture and chocolate.
- Stir everything together, then add to the food processor in batches and grind until the mixture is a fine powder consistency.
- Add to mason jars and gift away!
- To make the cocoa, add two heaping tablespoons cocoa mix to one cup (8 ounces) warm milk and add a candy cane stir stick.
