The Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania, ArtsQuest and the region’s culinary community will come together for the 2nd annual “Girl Scout Cookie Crunch,” 1 - 3 p.m. Feb. 28, ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks, 101 Founders Way, Bethlehem.

At “Cookie Crunch,” held on “National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend,” attendees will enjoy a variety of offerings created by area restaurants and eateries from appetizers to desserts featuring one or more of the nine Girl Scout Cookie selections.

“The Girl Scouts Cookie Program is unique in that it is the largest girl-led business in the world and girls choose how to use their proceeds,” said Ken Anderson, Senior Director of Product Program at Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania.

“Girl Scout Cookie Crunch is a fun opportunity for the community to come together to support Girls Scouts and celebrate the annual cookie sale,” Anderson said. The cookie sale continues until March 13.

Last year’s first-place winner, Iron Lakes Country Club of Allentown, which wowed the crowd with their Chipotle Shortbread Mac n’ Cheese, is expected to return in an attempt to maintain its “People’s Choice” title.

Proceeds benefit the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania and the ArtsQuest Arts Education Fund.
