Marvelous Moonpies

Ooooh do I love Moon Pies. When I was a kid, they were Scooter Pies.  They stopped being made, then I guess Little Debbie and other companies picked up the idea later on.  Thank goodness!

If there are any MP fans out there, I want to share two ideas.  First, if you want to up the yum factor, nuke your MP for about 3 - 5 seconds.  What to do it one better?  Nuke for 5 - 7 seconds and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.  For extra credit, add rainbow sprinkles!!!

If anyone out there tries this, I want to know what you think.  I'm off to make a MP Sundae now...

  1. Moon Pies have been made by the Chattanooga Bakery since 1917. They are still made today. I hope they never quit.

    Little Debbie has never made Moon Pies.

    Scooter pies are not made by Little Debbie. Little Debbie makes a Marshmallow pie.

    I am a Southerner who has been eating Moon Pies since at least 1950, maybe earlier. I really love them and now I want one!

    1. I appreciate your expertise. Like Lorraine, I am coping with the loss of my past favorite, the Scooter Pie and am grateful for Moon Pies. Admittedly, I'm not as knowledgeable on their history as I should be -- but I am thankful someone is making them!

  2. I love me a moon pie. They are comfort food right up there with mashed potatoes and hot fudge.

  3. I loved Scooter Pies when I was a kid in NY!! I am in the south now and caught a moon pie at a Mardi Gras parade. I can tell you, it did not taste like a Scooter Pie. It was really, really gross!

    1. Everything was thicker in a Scooter Pie and the chocolate was darker. My sister had black cat and she named him Scooter Pie. He was big and sweet too!
