I have a question for you … do you know how the Moon Pie got its name?
This morning, I came up with this idea using banana flavored mini Moon Pies and remembered a story (from my brother-in-law) about how the Moon Pies got its name. Here is the jest of the story … a coal miner would take these cookies/cakes (Moon Pies) to work in his pocket and held one up toward the moon, saw the resemblance and named it a “Moon Pie”. Have you heard this story before?
I grew up in California … we didn’t have Moon Pies … we had Scooter Pies, which are basically the same thing. Today in California, we have Moon Pies in a variety of flavors … but still bring Moon Pies home when we visit family in Tennessee … don’t ask … it’s just what we do
This just may be the simplest and fastest project I have ever done! You will need two things … mini banana Moon Pies (I found them at Rite Aid in the $1 section) and melted dark chocolate … yes, that is all you will need …
I put my melted chocolate in a squeeze bottle, but a disposable pasty bag or zip-top bag will work … just cut off a tiny corner. These are the super simple instructions … draw 1 wing, then another wing, make a dot as a body, use a toothpick to make tiny ears! So simple!!!
I love the simplicity of the bat silhouette on the moon! But I truly appreciate the simplicity and ease of making these. Why didn’t I think of this before?






CUTE!
Easy!
Easy is great for me~thanks for the cute idea.
I think easy is great for everyone
I just love this idea!! A easy,cheap, and different idea for a school party! Thank you so much!
Easy and cheap are always a good thing
You did it again. Great idea. Moon Pies are one of my favorite and to me they are much better than scooter pies.
Thank you
You proved that even those with no time can do something simple that seems special. Well done.
Thank you, sometimes the simplest things are the best things
