Munchie's Cookies Kickstarter Project

If you enjoyed the Munchie's sweet potato cookies at the BAF Reception (or any of their other 100 + flavors over the years) then check out the Munchie's Kickstarter project and consider this:

If 100 of the over 250 attendees pledged $250 each before their March 18th Kickstarter deadline, then Munchie's is on its way to restart production of its organic, gluten-free, kosher cookies and other healthy snacks that happen to be vegan, in their own production facility by the end of May.

Please feel free to call owners George & Audra if you have any questions (718.419.2400), or just make your pledge on Kickstarter. Spread the word, like them on Facebook, follow them on Twitter and Be Inspired!
