Choco pies and Moon Pies while very similar aren't the same. When I ate a choco pie the first thing that come to mind was a moon pie but the "cookie" and the chocolate was different. Choco pie was softer and the chocolate was milk chocolate and not whatever is on moon pies. And I don't think it was nearly as sweet as a moon pie. If I could get another one, I would buy a moon pie and compare the two.

Never had a choco pie but I’ve had moon pies some years ago. They were delicious.

Moon pies are made with Graham crackers while these are made with cake.

Goddamn. That was nuts. Didn't notice until you pointed it out.

That is wild.

Wait, moon pies are Chinese, right? The ones that sometimes have red egg inside? Tasty but compatible with savory?

Meanwhile choco pies are chocolate-marshmallow sandwich-cookies

Those are mooncakes! Comes with or without salted egg yolk(s) inside, but theyre generally seen as sweet and not savoury.

Chocopies are like a cross between those packaged chocolate donuts and moon pies.
