Chocolate Goodness Giveaway

Introducing Nestle Crunch Girl Scouts Candybars

Every year when Girl Scouts across America launch their fundraising with their deliciously satisfying boxes of cookies - I get excited. I love their little colorful boxes of decadent cookie-goodness! When I recently was invited to an event at Dylan's Candy Store - for the launch of the limited edition Nestle Crunch Girls Scouts Candy-bars - I was like - "WHOA! GIRL SCOUTS CANDY-BARS?"

While I couldn't attend the event itself, I knew I had to get my hands on these limited edition treats! Friends, let me just tell you, these little bars are MAGIC in your mouth. They come in three different flavors - Thin Mint, Peanut Butter Creme, and my ultimate favorite - Caramel & Coconut (Samoas Anyone?!!!)

I got to thinking - why hasn't this been done before!? And then I thought, Nestle Crunch + Girl Scouts = Genius idea. Just in case your not sitting there on this Friday, salivating for a bite of one of these, let me just give you a closer look into each flavor:

The idea of working with the Girl Scouts brand and a licensing agreement just clicked on so many levels. Crunch is a brand that has such a strong all-American heritage, from our red, white, and blue wrapper to the fact that it has been a sweet part of American households since the 1930s. Of course, Girl Scouts is the quintessential all-American organization with an incredible mission, and a sweet history of being the largest girl-led business in the country with its Girl Scout Cookie sales.~Nestle Crunch

After tasting, and enjoying these I can honestly say they are incredibly yummy - the hubs and daughter couldn't agree more! We received a box of the fun size bars on a Friday and all but 3 were gone by Monday!

You can get your hands on Nestle Crunch Girl Scouts Candybars - for a LIMITED TIME - at major retailers this Summer. But why wait until you happen upon them at the store…enter the giveaway below to WIN A BOX OF NESTLE CRUNCH GIRL SCOUTS CANDYBARS - delivered to your door!

Disclosure: I was given a free box of Nestle Crunch Girl Scouts Candybars to enjoy - and I did.
My honest opinion is the only one you will find here.
