Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 cups Dutch process cocoa powder
3 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons kosher salt
4 3.5-ounce dark chocolate bars (I use Lindt 90% cacao midnight dark chocolate)
4 3.5 ounce white chocolate bars (I used Lindt white chocolate bars)
15-20 candy canes

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.
  • In a very large bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, cornstarch, and kosher salt.
  • Break the dark chocolate and white chocolate bars into the food processor and pulse until the chocolate is ground into small crumb-size bits. Add to the cocoa powder mixture.
  • 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.
