After a month of creative hot chocolate offerings from local businesses in Salmon Arm, three winners have been selected for best overall, best spirited and most creative.
Cahoots took the best overall title for its Brown Butter Hot Chocolate. Barley Station won best spirited for its Orange Creamsicle Hot Chocolate. EcoTreats earned most creative for its Dubai Hot Chocolate.
Downtown Salmon Arm announced the winners March 3 in a social media post, thanking businesses and hot chocolate enthusiasts who cast their votes during the trail.
