I made several containers to give as gifts and of course I had to try it first.  It is delicious, better than the store bought hot chocolate mixes I usually buy.  I crushed the peppermint candies in my mini food processor, and it did an excellent job, made it into a powder.  I was a little nervous that it was going to crack the bowl, but I was lucky.
