Girl Scouts of Eastern PA (GSEP) and ArtsQuest™ are proud to announce the return of the popular ‘Girl Scout Cookie Crunch’ on Sunday, Feb. 25, 1-3 p.m., at the ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks, 101 Founders Way, Bethlehem. The dynamic culinary fundraiser, which sold out in 2017, serves as a benefit for both GSEP and ArtsQuest’s Art Education Fund, which provides quality arts and education programs for area students.

At Cookie Crunch, the region’s top chefs and restaurants come together to create delicious and unique dishes, all made with Girl Scout Cookies. From amazing appetizers to decadent desserts, each selection features one (or more) of the nine Girl Scout Cookie brands: Thin Mints®, Peanut Butter Patties®, Caramel deLITES®, Shortbreads®, Lemonades®, Peanut Butter Sandwiches®,Thanks-A-Lots®, Gluten-Free Trios® and Girl Scout S’Mores®, released last year to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Girl Scout cookie sales.

During the event, attendees can sample all of the culinary creations, as well as vote for their favorites in both the ‘Sweet’ and ‘Savory’ People’s Choice categories. In addition, for the first time ever, the event will crown the Cookie Crunch Champion, selected by the event’s official judging panel. Plus, kids ages 17 and under can get in on all the action by voting for the Kid’s Choice Award winner.
