Life is like a cup of hot chocolate – you never know what you’re going to get, especially when it comes to the YYC Hot Chocolate Fest.
The 11th anniversary of the month-long festival kicks off Feb. 1 with over 90 vendors offering up one-of-a-kind blends for Calgarians to enjoy while raising money for Calgary Meals on Wheels.
The event has become one of the agency’s largest and most integral fundraisers, bringing in more than $223,000 since 2011.
Past concoctions included local beer-based hot chocolate, a tiramisu creation and even one featuring chicken bones – well, the candy kind.
