In this recipe we are essentially making marshmallow fluff. When piping the cake batter into circles make sure to leave enough space between the rounds so that when they expand in the oven they don't touch. The cake batter shouldn't be so thick that it stands as a tall mound, but not so thin that it spread across the baking sheet. Here are a couple of tips to make an identical looking, but better tasting choco pie!

There was something about the cake/cookie in the choco pie that was dry, crumbly and a little bit sad tasting. A little bit of an upgrade with the jam, but equally as delicious.Įither way moon pie, wagon wheel or choco pie you can't compare them to a homemade version!

Similar to the choco pie it has a marshmallow filling, but between two graham crackers. When I was developing this recipe I realised that there is also a similar snack found in America called the Moon Pie. ![]() We have a fluffy vanilla bean studded marshmallow sandwiched between soft cake and coated in dark chocolate.
