as a southerner I grew up with moon pies. My school even gives em away on 3/14 (Pi day 3.141592654). The coating on the cookie is there to keep it moist, it's made of corn syrup that has been cooked to a "secret" temperature to get it the right consistency. Then chocolate extract is added and it's dyed in one of three colors, brown, yellow or orange(for halloween).
