Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Luna pie consists of 2 graham cracker cookies amongst marshmallow filling dunked inwards chocolate. They’re most mutual inwards the southward seeing equally they’re made inwards Chattanooga, Tennessee.

There are quite a few recipes for homemade versions online, but I didn’t similar whatever of them because they seemed much likewise complex. I’m rattling item nearly what I seat on my blog. I exclusively similar to part recipes that I know I would desire to build over again too again. If I’m already bored field reading the ingredient, that’s a problem.

So I tested a recipe out, too and thus changed it, too and thus changed it over again too again, too in conclusion it was just what I wanted. The cookie is rattling similar to the shortbread cookie recipe I shared inwards 2016, but I replaced or thus of the flour amongst graham cracker crumbs.
