The only thing missing from the first-ever MoonPie I ate the other day was a wick, because I could have sworn I was eating a wax candle.

Mmmmmm waxy goodness.
Must be an East Coat thing, cause I have never seen them over here.
ahhhh....Moonpies. Sooooo goood. 
I guess you have to have a Southern palate to enjoy a Moonpie. And chocolate is the ONLY flavor.

Might be more of a southern thang... Moon Pies are BIG around these parts.
Some Mardi Gras Krewes even use them as throws during parades...
it is a Southern thang.Snacks said:
Do you deep fry them? I bet they would be better deep fried.TN said:ahhhh....Moonpies. Sooooo goood.

Yes you can, yes they do. But then again everything is better deep fried.Westy said:
I had a ding dong the other day, it was delish 
damn straight. smear it with crisco first, then batter & deep fat fry it & dont forget to put powdered sugar on it too.Westy said:
I had only heard of them from watching "Unwrapped" on FoodTV. MBC and I saw them in a Vermont country store this past weekend, so I had to buy a box.Snacks said:
Maybe the awfulness of it had to do with the fact that the ones I bought had expired in November. But MBC contacted the store and they are sending us a fresh box.
I used to eat Scooter Pies when I was a kid. I don't know if they are made anymore, but they are the same idea.
Definatly a southern thing. I actually have a banana moonpie on my desk right now, just waiting for lunch.
don't settle for anything less

MoonPies ROCK! They are a tradition on any of my road trips!
Lol. They stock them at the stores out here but they're on the shelves that aren't quite so mainstraim with products like Reeses and Butterfingers and what not. From time to time they're pretty good. 
Mrs. Quick (Cloris Leachman):
"You're welcome! Now run along, and spend your money on penny whistles and moon pies!"
Bart Simpson:
"Moon pie...moon pie....I'd like to moon pie her!"

So what do MoonPies normally cost? We paid $5.95 for a dozen. Seems kind of steep, but then again it's only $6. $3 sounds more realistic.
They are usually around $0.50 around these parts in your local Quickie Mart/Gas stationI Are Baboon said:

You can get deep fried ice cream at almost any mexican restaurant.splat said:
There is a place in Jersey, the Rutt's Hut that deep fries hot dogs. With their relish very very tasty.splat said:
I tried deep frying a block of bologna once, it just kind of dissolved in the oil.
Deep frying bacon is the best, because everything you fry with the same oil ends up tasting like bacon.
I also tried frying a can of beer once. I wouldn't recommend this unless you have the proper safety equipment and the local burn clinic on call.

f'er. Now I gotta clean doritos out of my keyboard. :nuts:Westy said:
Deep fried ice cream is actually pretty good. The ice cream remains frozen.
Yep. A moonpie is marshmellow sandwiched between vanilla cookies and then dipped in either vanilla, banana, or chocloate glaze. :love:Snacks said:
3 for a dollar on sale here.I Are Baboon said:

Heat them babies up in the ol' wave for a few seconds, and bam...melted goodness! 
nothing like a cold Moxie to wash down a Moon Pie.
the scots have everyone beat when it comes to using a deep fryer.

Moonpies are southern to the core. Speaking of the core... Does anyone actually know what the core is made of? Glue?

you gotta have an ROYAL CROWN COLA with it.
There are two Southern staples I simply cannot tolerate- MoonPies are one and cheap beer is the other.
BTW, I know a place that still sells RC in the big, thick returnable 16ozers. Mmmmmmmmmm.

Even grosser than Moon Pies are the ones made by the brand Hinky Dink. I think they were called Big Town Pies. I bought them once when I lived in Farmville, VA. (I was trying to assimilate so I ate crap like that and wore Dickies pants.)
The packaging ought to read:
"With marshmallows like cement."
"Crumbles the hell all over the place."
