We've shown you the electronic moon pie. Now, check out its appetizer!

The 55-pound edible moon pie is the world's largest and was donated by the Chattanooga Bakery in Tennessee. The pie will feed 300 people and is about four feet in diameter.

It's made with six pounds of chocolate icing, 14 pounds of marshmallows and the entire thing is a whopping 45-thousand calories!

Tory Johnston says the donation is good publicity for them! "We are not charging you for the moon pies or anything. It's all free. It will cost us about 10,000 dollars to make that moon pie. There's such a great history between our city and Mardi Gras and moon pie. We thought this is great for us and hopefully great for the city. So yeah we drove it down and no charge."

It took the bakery six hours to prepare the monstrous moon pie!
