World’s Largest MoonPie Arrives for New Year’s Eve Ball

Dec 29th, 2011

The world’s largest MoonPie has made its way to Mobile for the New Year’s Eve Ball at the Mobile Convention Center. The ball is put on by and benefits McKemie Place, the region’s only overnight shelter for single, homeless women. Participants will dine on a scrumptious menu, a midnight Champaign toast, the giant MoonPie, and much more. They’ll dance to the R&B classics sung by EMERGE, and watch performances by the Mobile Ballet and the University of Mobile Choir.

Weighing 55 pounds, measuring 40” in diameter and 6” in height and boasting 14 lbs. of marshmallow, 6 lbs. of chocolate and 45,000 calories, the world’s largest MoonPie will then be served to all in attendance, as long as it lasts.
