Key Takeaways
- Moon Pie launched a limited-edition flavor featuring vanilla cookies, marshmallow filling, and sprinkles.
- The new mini pies are egg-free, dairy-free, and nut-free, making them allergy-friendly.
- Even people who typically don’t like Moon Pies are saying this flavor is worth trying.
Moon Pies are a definitive Southern staple. The soft, cookie-like sandwiches filled with fluffy marshmallow and coated in a rich chocolate shell are a nostalgic snack relic, still made the same way they were in the Chattanooga, Tennessee bakery back in 1917.
But maybe the Original Marshmallow Sandwich has never quite been your thing. Maybe you’ve sampled the lineup—Strawberry, Banana, Coconut, even the new Key Lime—and still haven’t found your go-to flavor. If none of those have done it for you, your Moon Pie moment might finally be here.
After teasing a new flavor launch since February, Moon Pie has finally rolled out its latest creation—and it’s got just about everyone, fans and skeptics alike, reaching for a box.
Moon Pie Launches Mini Birthday Party Pies
Moon Pie has leaned into what it calls “NEWstalgic” flavors—updated releases that feel familiar. And its newest launch fits that bill perfectly, being a flavor almost everyone has a fond memory of: Birthday Cake.

And it’s not just the flavor that’s new. The treats come in mini form and feature a brand-new crispy vanilla cookie, a twist from the classic graham cracker wafers usually found inside. These fresh vanilla cookies are layered with the signature marshmallow filling, dipped in a birthday cake-style vanilla frosting, and finished with colorful sprinkles that scream celebration.
Plus, they also happen to be egg-free, dairy-free, and nut-free, making them a solid option for parties or school birthday celebrations.
“I need those party pies!!” one excited fan commented. Another chimed in to call the flavor “amazing,” even if they did add that the pies were “extremely small.”
Of course, die-hard Moon Pie fans are on board, but what’s even more surprising is praise coming from folks who never liked them in the first place. “I don’t do Moon Pies, but I’d def try those,” said one commenter. “Seems like the only time I’ll like a Moon Pie is now,” another shared.
So, if you’ve never considered yourself a Moon Pie person, this just might be the flavor to win you over. The 10-count boxes of the Birthday Party pies are only available for a limited time—so if you’re curious, now’s the time to try them.
