It’s That Time Of Year

Jordan2 — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 20:54:01 GMT

It's time for one of my favorite cookies, it's Mallomars season! My store will have them starting Friday 2/$4.00. I know some of you don't know about them, but they're so good, marshmallow covered with chocolate sitting on top of a thin cookie.

Do you like Moonpies as well?

I have not been able to get Mallomars here since the pandemic.😠😠😠😠

I haven't had a Moonpie since forever.

@Jordan2. It's 97° here today. Does that sound like Mallomar weather?

Is that the chocolate cake treat wrapped in foil that Brenda eats on "The Closer?"

Answered my own question. Her treat has no white on or in it. Does anyone know what it is?

@On It I think Brenda ate Ding Dongs.

@Puzzle Piece I love moon pies. One of the girls at work used to make them and bring them in for us.

Our local deli had a sign up on their door menu that moon pies were back and I was so happy I went to the bakery case to get a moon pie and much to my dismay, they were pumpkin moonpies and not chocolate. What a disappointment!

@Puzzle Piece I think on the East Coast we had something that was like a Moon Pie. It was called a Scooter Pie, it was much larger than a Mallomar, round marshmallow covered with chocolate on top of a cookie, it was made by Burrys.
It may be in the 90's but Mallomars always come out in September, hopefully the trucks will be air conditioned.

I haven't made my version of mallomars in ages but I would use a very thin cookie (Anna's?), top with a dollop of marshmallow cream and then coat with melted chocolate.

Enjoy your mallomars, @Jordan2 😋

Haven't had them in years. Just ordered from Walmart. Yum

@Jordan2 OMGosh Mallomars they are soooo good. It takes all of my will power to buy just one package and have only 2 a day. One of my favorite cookies. Thank you for the reminder!

@Jordan2 I remember Scooter pies.

My ShopRite circular shows that Mallomars will be 2/$4 next week.

Some are thinking of whoopie pies. Moon pies are available everywhere nowadays...Walmart has them in several flyovers and Dollar Tree has them as well. Not a Mallomar fan right now...it's 112 right now and can't even imagine what one would look like in this wretched heat.

@Jordan2 Hmmm. I don't think I've ever had or seen a Mallomar. BUT I just bought a package of Biscoff cookies. I think it just right for fall, but it's 92 here today, so I may hold off opening them. First tried them on an airline years ago, I'm pretty sure it was Delta.

@Jordan2, what a weird coincidence.

For some bizarre reason, a Shelley Winters interview on the Johnny Carson Show popped into my head today.

She was telling Johnny how much she loved Mallomars!
I'd never heard of them before.

To this day, I've never had a Mallomar, but would be happy to give them a whirl.

@Jordan2 I'm not a big fan of them, but can remember my late FIL getting excited at "that time of year." He'd always buy some. One question for you why are they only available "this time of year"?

@coffee drinker although it is extremely hot for September right now, I think it has something to do with September being a little cooler I guess the cookie holds up better. I'm not even sure if they're made all year round. They are always cheapest in September.

One of my fav's, but if they're in the stores now I won't be carrying one home as it's still in the 90's and humid. As for the price you quote - if I could find ONE box of Mallomars in NY for $4 I would be thrilled!
