Moon Pie

Uncommon card · No. 116782

A Moon Pie is an American snack, popular across much of the United States, which consists of two round Graham crackers, with marshmallow filling in the center, dipped in a flavored coating. The snack is often associated with the cuisine of the Southern United States, where they are traditionally accompanied by an RC Cola. Today, MoonPies are made by Chattanooga Bakery, Inc., a privately held, family-owned bakery in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The traditional pie is approximately 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter. A smaller version, called a Mini Moon Pie, is approximately half the weight, and a double-decker Moon Pie of the traditional diameter features a third cookie and a second layer of marshmallow. The five primary flavors are chocolate, vanilla, banana, strawberry, and salted caramel. Coconut appears seasonally during the Mardi Gras parading season. Lemon, Blueberry, and Pumpkin Spice also appear seasonally throughout the year.
