Whoopie Pies!

IMG_2504

I just tried out a book that’s all about Whoopie Pies. One of the writers of the book (Amy) is also the editor of my book, Cake Pops. Amy sent me a copy to check out and I couldn’t be more excited for her.

I made and fell in love with these sugar-filled sandwiches. They are delish! They’re like little cakes shaped like cookies… (but pie-like… not so much.)

It’s funny… when I gave these treats away, everyone loved them, but no one knew what to call them. Everyone asked “What are they?” It made me wonder how common they are in other places. Have you made whoopie pies? Heard of them? Seen one out in the wild?

No worries if you haven’t. Now you can make your very own. The book is organized for easy reading.

IMG_2515

There’s a section devoted to cakes…

IMG_2516

And a section devoted to fillings. Great for mixing and matching and making whoopies.

IMG_2499

Lots and lots of whoopie.

IMG_2514

Yum!

IMG_2330

I decided to make the classic chocolate whoopie (big surprise) and paired it with peanut butter filling. The recipe called for dark brown sugar. I used this dark muscovado sugar instead because that’s all I had on hand. It made them extra tasty.

After you mix up the batter, drop it by spoonfuls on a parchment covered baking sheet.

IMG_2351

After they bake and cool for a few minutes carefully remove them from the parchment paper.

IMG_2355

Place them flat side up on a cookie rack. Then you can spoon the filling on…

IMG_2377

Or pipe it on.

IMG_2392

I like piping it on. It’s much more fun.

IMG_2403

And prettier to look at.

Sandwich the filling between two of the cakes.

And press gently. That’s it.

Whoo-hooo for whoopies. Now go make some.

Chocolate Whoopie Pies

Chocolate Whoopie Pies

Ingredients

Chocolate Whoopie Pies

  • 1-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons vegetable shortening
  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup milk

Salty Peanut Butter Filling

  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter (or crunchy)
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Whoopie Pies: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, sift together, flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat butter, shortening and sugar with a mixer on low until just combined. Increase speed to medium and beat for about 3 minutes.
  4. Add egg and vanilla and beat for two more minutes.
  5. Add half of the flour mixture and half of the milk and beat on low until incorporated. Repeat with remaining flour and milk and beat until combined.
  6. Using a tablespoon, drop batter on baking sheet two inches apart. Bake for about 10 minutes each or until pies spring back when pressed gently.
  7. Remove from oven and cool for about five minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.
  8. Peanut Butter Filling: Beat peanut butter and butter on low until creamy using a mixer. Add sugar and salt and beat on low to incorporate. Increase speed to medium and beat for about four minutes until the filling is light and fluffy. Spread filling on flat side on one cooled cake. Top it with a second cake and press gently.
  9. Store whoopie pies in an airtight container.

Notes

1 Tbsp of batter should make about 48 two-inch cakes or 24 pies.
2 Tbsp of batter should make about 30 four-inch cakes or 15 pies.

Recipe from Whoopie Pies

You can also roll the edges in sprinkles, chopped chocolate, nuts, etc. or in this case, peanut butter morsels.

Ummm… can I say these are just about the most fun things to eat. They’re so good you kinda feel like you’re being bad when you sink your teeth into them.

  11. I kinda made them using cookie dough because it was what I had on hand. Was that peanut butter filling more savory than sweet? That just didn’t sound like much sugar in the ratio.

  12. Heard of them, yes, but never made them, never had them… I’d love to make them though, and have visions of rolling the edges in multi-coloured sprinkles (I know some little girls who would think that was pretty cool!)

    :D

  22. i’ve never heard of a whoopie pie. looks like fun to make and eat.

  23. I had my first whoopie pie in Maine last summer. It was so large & calorie filled I had to spilt it into 3 servings. It was yummy! I am thinking I might try to make some soon.

  24. Chocolate peanutbutter! You just can’t go wrong there! And yes, I’ve sure heard of whoopie pies! One of my favs!

  25. What a great idea. I love your website, it is always a treat to receive an update. I tried the cake pops and they were too goood. I would love to receive the book as I have little granddaughters that I am teaching to bake and we need recipes that they like! Thanks again.

  26. I have heard of them, but I have not tried them. The chocolate peanut butter sounds heavenly. I might make them for my daughters birthday party!

  27. I have never heard of these before but boy do they look yummy! It kind of reminds me of the same way I make home made ice cream sandwiches.

  28. I have made Whoopie Pies and I love them! I found a place in downtown Franklin, Tn that had red velvet whoopie pies and they were fabulous!

  29. i have never made them but would love to try :D

  30. I have never even heard of them! They do look delicious though…love your peanut butter and chocolate idea!

  31. I love love love Whoopie Pies! only have a few recipes and would love to have more!

  32. Yum! I bet they would be good frozen, too… like ice cream sandwiches!

  33. Adore Whoopie Pies!! I love pumpkin flavor with cream cheese filling. OMGOsh! Delish!!

    I’ve made a Rachel Ray recipe that is super easy to mix all by hand. mmmmm… Gotta make some now!

    W

  34. made them…but not often enough!

  35. I might give it a try and make some Whoopie Pies! I love trying your suggestions!!I remember on the TV show Laverne and Shirley they talked about Scooter Pie. I think that Whoopie Pie is similar!
    They look terrific!

  36. Yes I have heard of them but I’ve never had them. I would love to get this book!

  37. I saw Paula Deen make them on her show once, but I’ve never tried them before. They look delish!!

  38. I have read about the and have wanted to try them. They look delicious!

  39. I’ve never even heard of these but I love all things sweet so I can’t wait to try my hand at making them!

  40. I think their big in New England. Im from CT and grew up with them. We called them devil dogs at home and our home ec teacher called them whoopie pies. Ive also heard of them called moon pies but they put marshmallow in the center and dip the entire thing in chocolate.
    Paula Deen has a recipe which she calls Two Brothers Chocolate Gobs. Its exact recipe that we used growing up and in Home ec. Its with a cooked frosting in which you make a rue first, let it cool and then add it to the mixer with the other ingredients until cool. One take on this is substitue the vanilla extract for almond and its THE BOMB!!
    Also, use silpats when making the cakes/cookie part. It makes it much easier than using parchment.

  41. I have never made them, but they are for sure on my TO DO list. My kids love to eat them and I love to bake, so one of these days…

  42. Whoopies make me think of my childhood. My Mom used to make a version that we all just loved. Oh how I would like to make some for my grandkids….would love to win that special book! Whoopie!!!!!

  43. I’ve never made them or had them, but they always sound good to me.

  44. I’ve never made them but i def. want to!

  45. Oh my, the 4 teen girls I mentor at the Lovin’ Oven would love to win! You have been a bakerly inspiration to them as they have been learning the dual skills of baking and running a business. We have gone off in a Cake Pop flurry, selling them at a local farmer’s market to raise money for the work skills program at the Valley of the Moon Teen Center. Thank you for your “sick skillz” and so willingly sharing with your adoring public :)

  46. Tear….whoopie pies remind me of my Grandpa who loved them so much! I remember eating them with him and licking the filling of my fingers, such great memories! Love you Grandpa!

    Thanks for bringing up a very sweet memory for me!

  47. I’ve heard of them, but I’ve never eaten or made them. They look soooo good!!

  48. Those look deeeeelish! I am definitely going to try making them today. I’ve heard of whoopie pies before but never actually seen them. Can’t believe what I’ve been missing!

  49. Oh, I’m seen these once somewhere, can’t wait to try these, now, yopu make it look so easy and fun, thanks so much…yum

  50. I’ve heard of them and eat them whenever I can. I haven’t made them yet.

  51. I have never made these before but saw the book at the library and wondered how good they would be. They look very yummy though and I should probably make them soon! Thanks for the recipe!!

  52. I know what whoopie pies are, but have never made them because it always looks too complicated. They sure look yummy though. And I might get over my fear and try to make them. :o)

  53. I’ve never had a whoopie pie, but I’d sure love to try some!

  54. I have never heard of them, but they do look delish!!!

  55. I LOVE them & I’ve made them. I made some just like you did in this post and I also made the other fabulous ones that you did with the red velvet and cream cheese. Oooh so yummy & cute! :)

  56. I have heard of them, but have never tried them. But I will now! Yum!

  57. I have heard of them but never made them. After seeing your great pictures I think I need to try them! I love reading your posts!

  58. Funny, I just told a friend last night I want to make whoopie pies. I’ve eaten them a time or two but never made them.

  59. I’ve never made them, I’ve seen them before, but I didn’t know what they were called. I’m glad it’s a fun name like Whoopie!

  60. Yum! I have in fact heard of woopie pies before! But I haven’t had the chance to make any or even eat any yet! mmm..Kinda wanna go make some now….

  61. never made them but have used Nutella and fluff and oatmeal cookies to make something similar.

  62. I’ve wanted to learn how to make these for a long time. In Toronto there is a place that makes them from time to time called Sweet Bliss. I’ve been wanting this book. Wish me luck!

  63. I have heard of them, but I’ve never tried to make them! They look delicious!!

  64. I haven’t ever had them nor have I made them but there is no time like the present to start!

  65. I’ve been seeing them around lately, and my curiosity is thoroughly piqued! So pique me, random number generator!

  66. Love them and would like to try making them. The book looks very yummy!

  67. I don’t think they’re very popular in my area so I’ve never made them and the only ones I’ve had are the ones at Trader Joe’s, which weren’t as good as I’d hoped. But the book looks great! I definitely want to give them another try.

  68. I’ve never made them, but have been meaning to. I’ve had ones dipped in chocolate from Zingerman’s bakery. So good!

  69. I love whoopie pies! My family used to get them on vacation in Ohio all the time. I’ve never made them though!

  70. Whoopie Pies are not uncommon in the North East . . . I’ve made them a few times & think they’re great because it seems like you’re just eating one cookie (how reasonable!) but really you’re eating a piece of cake (with delicious frosting)!

  71. This has opened up a whole new world for me…
    YUMMMY!

  72. I have heard of them but have never made or tried them.

  73. I’d never heard of them until probably a few months ago! I’m from the Pacific NW, so I guess they’re not really a “thing” up there.

  74. I’ve tasted them but have never made them. I’d like to make a nuttella version.Yours looks so good!. Thanks for the recipe!

  75. I’ve never made them, but they’re supposed to be the next trendy dessert.

  76. they look so pretty! I will give them a try. Thanks for the recipe!

  77. I remember these! My grandfather called them black moons! I remember them being annoying to make (we’d bake them larger and cut them in half–tons of crumbs) but definitely worth it.

  78. Beautiful pics – loving the one with the pb chips. :-)

    I’ve heard of whoopie pies but have never made one or eaten one – it’s time to change that!

  79. Hi bakerella,
    I knew this kind of cookie. I made something like this last year for Christmas. But I think the dough was more like sponge cake and it was white dough with brown loops on it. The filling was nougat. Very tasty …

  80. My daughter (10) and I make pumpkin whoopied every Fall and eat almost ALL of them. Sooooooooooooo good. Totally want to buy this book!

  81. They look AMAZING. Have never heard of them but they are definitely gonna be made at my house!

  82. I have been dying to try to make these! Now is the time, I guess! Yummy!

  83. I tried them once and they were so good!

  84. I’ve never made them but they look so fun!! I can’t wait to try them with my nieces & nephews! :)

  85. I’ve never heard of them but they look fabulous!!

  86. I haven’t heard about them until now, but they look yummy. And I love things that I can customize, like the filling. Will definitely be making these soon.

  87. I’ve never made them, but sure would love to!

  88. Heard of them, never had them…want to try them! Yummy!

  89. Yep. I’ve heard of ’em and I love them!

  90. I have always wanted to make them! We have a Sheetz here that sells them – all I ate during my pregnancy :)

  91. I thought these were macarons at first… never heard of whoopies until today. Now I’m tempted to try one!

  92. I’m from Pennsylvania, and we call them gobs. They are sooo good, I’d love to get the book, because I’ve only ever tried baking the regular chocolate. Although, I’ve tasted pumpkin ones which are pretty good, too! Thanks for the chance!

  93. Never heard of them before, but they look delicious!

  94. Heard of them, ate a few of them, never made them but would love to try! :)

  95. I’ve never made whoopie pies… but I have made your red velvet cake cookies with cream cheese icing as the filling. It seems like the same premise…. although those chocolate ones with salty peanut icing sound AMAZING! I’ll be trying those soon!

  96. I’ve heard of them and seen them at bakeries all over NYC… but I’m too scared to try them for fear I’ll fall in love, leave my husband, and run away with creamy filling all over my face.

  97. I’ve heard of them, but never made them.

  98. A coworker of mine brought in some homemade ones on her last day of work. I don’t quite remember what it tasted like, but I’m sure it was delicious!

  99. One of my favorite things to bake! Learnt how in 7th grade home ec and still use the same recipe..it would fun to try some new ideas!

  100. I would love to try to make them!

  101. I’ve only made whoopie pies once before (chocolate with vanilla–boring!) but there’s a place in town called Pattycake Bakery that makes pumpkin whoopie pies that several of my coworkers rave about! I’m making a special trip on Tuesday to try some for myself.

  102. I made these once, as a Valentines treat. Mine were chocolate, with a sort of marshmallow filling. I also made some that had marshmallow and cashew butter. Yum. I should really make those again!

  103. In Pennsylvania we call them “gobs”…..no matter what they’re called they’re delicious :)

  104. Never made a whoopie pie. My mom used to make homemade oreo cookie type things that look exactly the same! I must try the chocolate with peanut butter filling! Looks delish!

  105. Super easy version: make cake mix cookies and put frosting in the middle. (I have a picture here: http://mindylovesaaron.blogspot.com/2010/03/i-love-food-coloring.html) I call them cake mix cookie sandwiches. These look delicious though – nice and thick and fluffy.

  106. Had my first Whoopie Pie when living in PA–they came from a little Amish bakery/deli. OMG, they were divine! Would love to have cookbook to make some of my own :)

  107. I tried making whoopie pies last year, but I just used a marshmallow for the filling – I didn’t even think about making my own filling – looks yummy!

  108. I am SO excited about this post!! The book is a must-have for me, I’ve already added it to my Amazon wish list!! Whoopie pies are a PA Dutch thing, and I grew up having them. My MIL makes a killer pumpkin with cream cheese filling whoopie pie, and some others I’m excited to make soon are banana and raspberry-lemon. OH my. :)

  109. I’ve only recently heard of woopie pies from the interwebs. They look so yummy! And I’m a sucker for soft cookies. And they seem really easy to make too.

  110. I haven’t made them before, but I’ve actually been on the lookout for a great book. This one looks perfect!

  111. They are a classic Maine dessert! In fact, my husband and I decided to forgo the traditional wedding cake at our wedding and served whoopie pies, instead! (Deliciously made by my mother-in-law…)

  112. Whoopie Pies are really popular in the Amish communities in my area, but I’ve never tried making them myself. Your chocolate and peanut butter version sounds really tasty!

  113. I first heard of them when visiting LA, but I really haven’t seen them here in Texas. Can’t wait to try these out!

  114. I have never made whoopies, but would lOVE to try and make them. These would be a great as wedding favours… hmmm

  115. Heard of these but I have never seen or tried them. They sound delicious!!!!

  116. I LOVE woopie pies, but never made them! I would love to win this cookbook!

  117. I do love a cakey, creamy pie-o-whoop! Haven’t made any… yet.

  118. Love the classic chocolate… But my current favorite is pumpkin with either cream cheese or chocolate maple filling. I was hesitant about chocolate maple, but it was AMAZING!

  119. ive heard of them and even found a recipe but never got down to making them.

  120. Have never made them but I have a recipe that I really need to try for pumpkin whoopie pies. Would love the book!

  121. I love whoopie pies. Surprisingly I’ve never made them but the best local place to get them near me is called Susiecakes. Your picture of the whoopie pie rolled in peanut butter chips is ridiculous.

  122. your red velvet whoopie pies were the first ones I ever made…they were a huge hit!

  123. These were a speciality of my husband’s grandmother…she used to make them all the time and we loved them! We haven’t had any since she passed away.

  124. I’ve made pumpkin whoopie pies, yummy! The delicious combinations could be endless!

  125. I have seen somethign like these at the Cookie COmpany. I never eat the cookies only the fililng.
    I’m going to go home and make these tonight.
    Thanks for the great ideas.
    :-)

  126. Soooo random that I haven’t thought of Whoopie Pies in years. My mom used to make them for us and they were SOOOo delicious! Just last night I was in Trader Joes and saw a little box of whoopie pies in their bakery section…and now this yummy looking post! Great timing!

  127. I never knew that whoopie pies were not known everywhere. Maybe it’s a northern thing. I have made them several times. The best were pumpkin whoopie pies with cream cheese filling, found via marthastewart.com. They were a huge hit at Thanksgiving dinner.

  128. I’ve made chocolate Whoopies and eaten red velvet.

  129. I’ve heard of them but never tried or made them. I saw the whoopie pans at the store the other day as well. Those look delicious and I would love to try and make some.

  130. I have never heard of them but would love to learn more. I am crossing my fingers.

  131. They used to serve pumpkin whoopie pies back at college – the bakery made them periodically during the fall semesters. They were pretty good, though now I have a craving to go out and try a whoopie pie at a real bakery!

  132. Oh yeah, I’ve heard of whoopie pies! And yeah, I’ve done my fair share of eating them too! Never made them though. Amy’s book would be awesome to have to make my own!

  133. I’ve seen them before – never made them, though! Closest I’ve come is homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies… which are sandwichey and VERY GOOD!

  134. I’ve never tried them or made them, but I am super excited to now :)

  135. My kiddos love whoopie pies. I haven’t made them, we just buy them at the store. They love trying all of the different flavors. I may just have to try making some.

  136. I have made whoopie pies, but it has been years. Just purhcased the whoopie pie pans.

  137. Never made whoopie pies, but man these look good!! Now I want go go buy the book, if I don’t win the drawing :)

  138. Absolutely! They’re delish!

  139. Is it weird I never even thought to make these myself? I absolutely adore them. I can see doing a chocolate/mint version to give out at work for Christmas… or a vanilla mint… or I don’t even know… and rolling them in festive sprinkles. Oh my!

  140. Love the oatmeal raisin cookie whoopie pies—–especially those made by the Amish, which you can find in and around Philadelphia. So delish! Would love this book because then I can have a recipe to make them myself!

  141. I’ve tasted…(yum) but never tried :(

  142. Hi! I think of heard of whoopie pies but I’ve never made them before. they look scrumptious!!! I’m really into baking and cooking now, so these look fun to make. Pick me!!

  143. I’ve heard about them many times but never made them. I recently saw them in the Kroger bakery (usually one of my favorite places) and jumped on the chance to try them. But I was sorely disappointed in them. I’d love to make them myself to give them a chance at redemption, ha!

  144. I have made red velvet whopie pies before from recipe that was in Better Homes & Gardens a few years ago. They are fabulous!

  145. Yes, Yes, Yes! I have made them. The are delish! My niece encourages everyone shout “Whooopppieee!” When they take their first bite.

  146. I have head of woopie pies, but I never really knew what they were; I have certainly never had one. They look good! And the book is adorable! LOVE YOU BAKERELLA!!!

  147. Yum! I’ve never made them but I’d love to!

  148. I’ve never made them neither eaten them, but yours look so yummy that make me really really want to have a try!

  149. These looks like oreo cakesters, which my children love! Would be great to be able to make my own, with 4 children a little to expense to buy the cakesters. Can you share with us the marshmallow filling?? Would love to win the book!!

  150. I’ve made whoopie pies before just using cake mix and halving the wet ingredients…they’re quite tasty, but I would love to have some from scratch recipes!!

  151. I love making whoopie (pies) that is. my fave are pumpkin ones with cream cheese filling. I make them in the fall. yummy!

  152. Love these! We make them for holidays and my family calls them Devil Dogs. Great dipped in a chocolate ganache too!

  153. We used to call these homemade oreo cookies. I love them, whatever they’re called!

  154. I learned about Whoopie Pies when we moved to Pennsylvania five years ago. I’ve never made them myself, but love to get them from an Amish farm market near our home. They’re delicious!

  155. I had never heard of them until just recently. They are something I’d definitely like to eat!!!

  156. I never have tried them or attempted to make them, which locals thought was just wrong while we lived in Maine for 3 1/2 years. They do look tasty though!

  157. Have heard of them, haven’t ever made them, but would love to try!!! They look soooo yummy!

  158. I’ve never had one, but I was reading about pumpkin ones once and I thought that sounded AMAZING.

  159. I have never made Whoopies, but now I want to. I think I’ll make some for a party I have coming up this weekend!

  167. I have made similar “cookie sandwiches”, but never heard of the name “Whoopie Pies”. I don’t know if I can win, living in europe, but I’ll give it a shot :)

  168. i did make whoopie pies once! but i would love this book to try more flavors.

  169. Whoopie!! Sounds Yummy!! They look like home-made oreos, which I love. Count me in, and draw my number! Pretty please??

  170. Have heard of them and eaten them…have yet to make them. Excited to though

  171. I’ve never made them but have heard of them. Can’t wait to get moved into our new place so I can try to make some. Looks like a great cookbook~ Jeanette at thealldays@msn.com

  172. In western PA we call them gobs! I can’t believe how many people have never had one, my mother always makes them over the summer to take to picnics!

  173. I have this book and have not tried anything – yet! I would love to know where you purchased your fine sugar an the dark brown sugar pictured in this post and in your Pops post. Both appear to be the same brand. It it local here in Atlanta or mail order. If chosen I will gift it with a bag of the dark brown sugar. Or maybe I’ll part with mine and keep yours – maybe you’ll even sign it :o) Many thanks, Chrissy

  174. I haven’t made them or eaten them but those look yum! I think they will be an entry on my blog very soon.

  175. MMMM… Just mouth wattering… Cannot wait to try them!

  176. you are the best! I need to make a special treat for my husbands office – guess what they will be saying WHOOOPIE
    Cheers

  177. I love whoopie pies, but haven’t had one since childhood. This cookbook looks like a “must read!”

  178. Never had one! Heard lots about them and always wanted to try one. How fun would it be to make them!?:)

  179. I have! I made some this winter on a whim. The filling wasn’t quite as sweet as I’d like, personally, but my husband and kids loved them.

  180. I have eaten them, recently ate some mini versions (so cute) but I have never made them. Thanks for the recipe!

  181. I have a recipe for homemade oreo cookies that is pretty much a whoopie pie my family LOVES them I am super excited to try this recipe peanut butter makes me happy:) I wouldn’t mind having a whole book of whoopie pie recipes, I am so ready to make some whoopie!

  182. Never heard of them, but they look delicious!

  183. Love ’em. Never made them. Jungle Jim’s, a giant grocery/gourmet store near Cincinnati, sells giant ones and they’re great too!

  184. Yep, I’ve made whoopie pies only 2 times. They sure were yummy.

  185. These are SO cute and look SO good! I would love to learn more about them!

  186. seems like the best whoopie pies are the ones you get at random gas stations in the middle of nowhere. would love to make my own!

  187. OMG
    I am so going to make these
    Thanks for the recipe :)

  188. I’ve heard of whoopie pies my whole life. Certainly must be a geographical error! :) Thanks for the giveaway! Beautiful pix and post!

  189. yes, I’ve heard of them, made them, devoured them, loved them!! Whoopie pies are so great! My favorite are pumpkin with cream cheese filling… in the fall of course ;)

    I would love this little cookbook and to try out all new flavors!

  190. Ooh … that looks heavenly!!! I’ve seen them but didn’t know what they were called. I’ve only heard the term Whoopie in the terms they use on “The Newlywed Game” so when I saw the title of you post I was a little nervous about what I was going to see. LOL! I would love to try making some of these! :o)

  191. Why yes, yes I have! Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting. And I began to drool as I typed that out.

  192. I have never had a whoopie pie, but I am dying to! These look amazing!

  193. I’ve heard of them and have had them before, would absolutely love to try and make them!!!!!!

  194. I have heard of them. I have only had one once. I think pumpkin whoopies would be wonderful. :)

  195. Thanks to my grandmother, we have whoopie pies at every occasion! I grew up on them and love the classic chocolate with vanilla filling. I’d love to try some newer versions, though!

  196. My family LOVES whoopee pies. We can’t buy them here in SoCal (or, at least, I’ve never found a place that carries them), so I have to make my own to get my fix.

  197. I made the classic chocolate pies with cream filling a few weeks ago. My godchild fell in love.

  198. Heard of them, but I’ve never had one!

  199. Heard of them, ate them (Amish ones are great!), and have this book on my wish list!

  200. of course i’ve heard of them! i didn’t know anyone hadn’t – i’m glad you’re letting everyone know though because they’re YUMMY! I’ve only made them from a kit from Stonewall Kitchen – maple whoopie pies. They were prettty tasty!
