FRIENDSHIP GIFTS FOR THE SUMMER

Just the word moon pie conjures up fond memories for many Southerners. The iconic Southern snack is simply a graham cracker cookie with marshmallow, drenched in chocolate--and shaped like the moon! Growing up in the Deep South, the moon pie was a staple in my lunch bucket everyday.

If you are a new visitor to my blog, I must explain that I love to have "Friendship Gifts" on hand to offer to guests who visit my home...sometimes, I offer these gifts as "last minute hostess gifts", or just a "happy." My "Friendship Gifts" for the summer...Moon pies on a stick, wrapped in cello paper, and tied with pretty blue ribbon embossed with a fleur de lis...It's a Southern thing y'all! (Only 220 calories, with 6 grams of fat)
Love the fleur de lis ribbon...

A smaller version of the original moonpie is now available...it's a moon pie crunch, with mint! It has 170 calories and 8 grams of fat, but a lot of Southern goodness!

I wrapped some of the small moon pies, for those watching their calories and for the youngins'!

Bring on the summer...Moonpies and an RC!!! (Most likely a diet-caffeine-free coke for moi!)

Thank you so much for stopping by today!
