About MoonPies

Contrary to conspiracy theories, MoonPies didn’t fall from the sky. Sometimes considered the south’s favorite snack food, the MoonPie originated in 1917 in Chattanooga, TN.  MoonPie is a graham-like cracker, marshmallow covered with Chocolate, Vanilla, Orange, Strawberry or Banana flavors.  Recently a Peanut Butter flavor has been introduced. They are legendary, they are mythical, but above all they are delicious. For more information, please visit www.moonpie.com.
