Here's a nice way to give someone a chocolate "fix."

Chocolate Popcorn Mix

1 1/2 cups (375 ml) powdered (confectioner's) sugar
1/2 cup (125 ml) cocoa
1 tsp (5 ml) cinnamon (optional)

Sift the ingredients together and spoon into a pint (500 ml) jar.
Attach a gift card with the following instructions:

Melt 4 Tbs (60 ml) butter in a small saucepan. Add 1/4 cup (60 ml)
chocolate popcorn mix and stir to combine. Drizzle over about 6 cups
(1.5 L) popped corn (made from about 1/4 cup (60 ml) unpopped corn) in
a large bowl and toss to coat well.
