The good folks at Chattanooga Bakery have seen fit to re-release their previously discontinued peanut butter permutation of the traditional choco-coated cookie, and not a darned second too soon. I'm here to tell ya, this li'l fella is some seriously good -- if nigh on violently sugary -- eating. With a crunchy, fudgy cookie as the foundation, a hearty slathering of extra-sweet peanut butter in lieu of the standard marshmallow and a silky chocolate coating, the confection bears an astonishing texture and flavor resemblance to the perennial Girl Scout vended fave, Tagalongs®, a.k.a. Peanut Butter Patties®. Served frozen, per a suggestion on the box, it's simply a revelation.
The upside is that unlike the GSA confection, Moon Pies can be acquired year-round. The downer for those trapped north of the Mason-Dixon is that they're not especially easy to come across in stores. $17.99, plus $8.95 (give or take) shipping will net you 48 pies, but I'd daresay it's worth the investment at least once. Tell ya what -- if you don't like 'em, next time I see you, I'll spring for your R.C.

Moon Pies are so nasty. And this is coming from a born and raised Southern girl.
Back in college, there was a display in our canteen of every flavor Moon Pie available. So I thought "Oh, hey, since I've never actually ate one, let's taste test them for my blog." I was so disappointed : x

Oh Megan - these are an entirely different animal. I'm not a massive fan of the regular ones, but the PB are a real treat. If you've got easy access, split a box with someone so you're not stuck with the whole thing if you don't like it. Chances are someone will.
Is it a marshmallow thing, or don't you dig their chocolate?

I just wish they were vegetarian...they use animal-based gelatin instead of agar, egg whites, starch, or heck, mallow in their marshmallows.
