Junk Food Review: Salted Caramel Moon Pies

Wednesday, January 21st, 2015

This is part of Things I Shouldn’t Be Eating: A Continuing Series.

I found this at an HEB:

A Salted Caramel Moon Pie.

Obviously I had to pick it up.

How does it taste?

I wouldn’t waste your money. It tastes like a Banana Moon Pie without the banana, so it still has that faint artificial petrochemical tang, a faint hint of caramel, and a tiny bit of salt.

That’s not good enough.

The Banana Moon Pie is a nostalgic taste from childhood I occasionally indulge in. By comparison, the Salted Caramel Moon Pie is just a disappointment.

When I want a subtle dessert, I’m not reaching for a Moon Pie. I want the the sweet junk food rush of caramel to hit my tongue like jackhammer. The Salted Caramel Moon Pie doesn’t deliver.
