The event is an opportunity to discover exclusive recipes of artisanal hot chocolate and, incidentally, contribute to a charity project. For each cup sold, $ 0.50 will be donated to C-CAP‘s “Job Training Program,” a non-profit organization that helps underprivileged high school students explore culinary careers.
