” event. From now until July 4th families, friends and supporters of the U.S. military can purchase the popular Moose Munch® treats at Harry & David that will be shipped to war zones, for sweet enjoyment by our men and women in service.
Harry & David at Silver Sands will offer customers the opportunity to purchase Moose Munch® bars and gift them to soldiers with a personalized greeting message. Each bar and note is packaged with a plastic spoon and boxed for pickup via Soldiers’ Angels. The 100-degree heat melts the signature chocolate, caramel corn and nuts confection into a lusciously gooey treat that makes it easy for our soldiers to enjoy the sweet taste of home. With most perishable dessert items not capable of being sent into war zones, this program delivers happiness and a feeling of home as it’s been noted that Moose Munch® bars are one of the most requested items from soldiers serving in combat. Last over 38,000 Moose Munch® bars were shipped to soldiers in Afghanistan and other regions, through the “Support Our Troops with Moose Munch® Bars” event. Moose Munch® bars retail for $2.50 each or $4.00 for two.
