Love the recipe! Thanks so much for posting it. =)

Here's my humble attempt:

I used to eat all kinds of the pies as a kid and i loved them. I am 27 now and just recently discovered the delicious nature of the pies. I do agree with you guys about the half moon pies as opposed to the square ones. Don't get me wrong the square ones do the trick, but the whole pie is the daddy of fruit pies. the reason im writing this blog is because i found a website in which you can order the old school half moon pies and have them ordered to your house. This is the website. http://www.freshchocodiles.com/hostess/fruit_pies.html

I signed up just to comment on Hostess fruit pies. I was eating one a while back and had to ask myself why or if I liked it. The fond memories of them fell away as I evaluated the one I was eating and found that the crust smelled like Play Dough. I don't remember making this connection as a child (which seems odd to me), and I can't help but wonder if the recipe has changed over the years. At any rate I was eating another one tonight and had to stop and see if anyone else thought they smelled like Play Dough (my wife agrees that they do) That brought me here.
It is probably too late to get a reply about this because the last post was from november, oh well.
By the way, my favorites groing up were cherry and apple and were, as was the one I ate tonight, half-moon shaped.
I still find them edible, but will tell my wife not to buy them for me again.
I can't get past the Play Dough thing.

It is a tie between my mother's cinnamon rolls -- made with raisins and just the right amount of vanilla glaze -- and her recipe for blonde brownies with chopped walnuts and chocolate chips. I just made my mother's blonde brownie recipe for my three year old daughter and she can't get enough of them. Eating them reminds me of my childhood.

Chocolate pudding!

I loved Chocolate Pinwheel cookies. I still love them today!

Chocolate meringue pie. I still love it!

As a kid I loved fudgey brownies - and I still do!

When I was growing up, my mother made the most amazing Chocolate Cream pies! I STILL ask for one when I go to visit her!!

Ice cream!

I have never outgrown my love for almost anything chocolate. My favorite dessert as a child was a blackbottom pie from a local bakery. I have tried it other places and have looked through (and baked) dozens of recipes, but I have never been able to find a decent substitute since the bakery closed down. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!

My Mom made this cookie with 3 ingredients, peanuts, Capn Crunch's Peanut Butter Cereal, and almond bark, melted to hold it all together. I think I've outgrown it -- mostly because Capn Crunch just changed the consistency of the cereal -- takes some getting used to.
