Choco Pie is a popular snack food produced by several companies globally. The most well-known version is made by the South Korean company Lotte Confectionery.

History

The Choco Pie was first introduced in 1974 by Lotte Confectionery in South Korea. It was inspired by the American snack food, the Moon Pie, which was first created in 1917. The Choco Pie quickly became a popular snack in South Korea and has since spread to many other countries around the world.

Description

A Choco Pie consists of two small round layers of cake with marshmallow filling and a chocolate covering. The cake is often described as soft and moist, while the marshmallow filling is sweet and fluffy. The chocolate covering adds a rich, sweet flavor to the snack.

Varieties

There are several varieties of Choco Pie available, including different flavors and sizes. Some of the most popular flavors include vanilla, strawberry, and banana. There are also special edition flavors that are released for a limited time, such as green tea and pumpkin.

Cultural Impact

Choco Pie has had a significant cultural impact in several countries. In South Korea, it is often given as a gift during the Chuseok holiday. In North Korea, Choco Pies have been used as a form of currency due to their popularity and scarcity.
