Nine local businesses participated in the second chocolate walk in Bluffton. Tickets were $10, and got you a chocolate treat at each location. From donuts at Dough Hook Meat Market, to some of Shirley's Popcorn's original chocolate flavors, there was a wide variety of chocolates to treat yourself with.

The Chamber of Commerce says the chocolate walk is a great way to get traffic into some local shops. "To give people a little extra reason to come out and explore Bluffton," says Paula Scott, the CEO. "Our downtown is compact and so complete, we have a little bit of everything in downtown Bluffton."

100 percent of the proceeds go to the Bluffton Community Assistance Program and other Bluffton non-profits supported by the United Way.
