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.
There’s a section devoted to cakes…
And a section devoted to fillings. Great for mixing and matching and making whoopies.
Lots and lots of whoopie.
Yum!
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.
After they bake and cool for a few minutes carefully remove them from the parchment paper.
Place them flat side up on a cookie rack. Then you can spoon the filling on…
Or pipe it on.
I like piping it on. It’s much more fun.
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.
1 Tbsp of batter should make about 48 two-inch cakes or 24 pies. Recipe from Whoopie Pies
Chocolate Whoopie Pies
Ingredients
Chocolate Whoopie Pies
Salty Peanut Butter Filling
Instructions
Notes
2 Tbsp of batter should make about 30 four-inch cakes or 15 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.
Want to make some whoopies?
Amy sent me a second copy to do with what I want. And I want to give it to one of you. Want it?

Congratulations Neddy (# 1413). Now you can try lots and lots of whoopie pies.
Love the whoopies pies! First had them at a cupcake shop in Emeryville, and then made them (from an internet recipe) for Christmas Cookies exchange. Big Hit! I think I will try the Choc PB today!
I LOVE to make whoopie pies. They are one of my favorite summer time treats. I like the filling I use so well I have adapted it into the frosting I use for cupcakes. I usually make classic chocolate ones but I’ve had my eye on a red velvet recipe for a while that I’d like to try. Whoopie pies=yummy!
Usually make chocolate or pumpkin whoopie pies. Just tried a new one–banana whoopie pies. They are all YUM!
I have heard of whoopie pies but never have had one. Those look delicious! The book looks oh so fun!
I’ve heard of them, but never made them. They look DELICIOUS!!
I’ve never heard of them but this looks just like the type of thing I love. The combinations are endless!
What a fun book! I’ve never made them, but they oh so yummy!
never heard of them, but would love to try!
Never heard of those before! They remind me of ice cream sandwiches. Probably just as tasty too…
I have heard of them and ate them but never made them! I would love to try! My roommate made red velvet whoopie pies for her boyfriend and they were DELISH!
Those are so cute! I’ve never had a whoopie pie and they look lovely.
oooooohhhhhhhhh I LOVE Whoopie Pies! A local bakery here makes a Lemon with Cream Cheese filling and a TO DIE FOR Mocha with Coconut cream filling and rolling it in toasted coconut!
I have heard of these glorious treats but have never had the opportunity to try them. They look YUMMY! I would love to learn how to make Whoopie (hee hee!)
I have heard of the, but never eaten or made them.
These look amazing! I have never made them before but I am definitely going to make some this week! Yum!
ive been dying to make them but havent had the chance yet! they look like a beautiful marrige between a french macaron and a cupcake.
Oh wow, those look amazing!! I’m lookng for new things to make all the time and these are definately something i’d like to make!
I’ve heard of them and I absolutely LOVE them! But, I haven’t made them myself… yet!
Never made them, never tasted one! Would love to try!!!
I’ve never made whoopies or even heard of them until two minutes ago, but I’m already craving them! They look so delicious and fun to make! :)
Never heard of them, but they definitely sound yummy! Would love to win!!
I always think of whoopie cushions everytime I see the words whoopie pie. They remind me of moon pies without the coating on them. :)
Have heard of them, but would maybe have had trouble describing them until I read your post. Had similar thingys, smaller, in Europe. Would love to start making them, especially with peanut butter filling! Thanks!
These look so yummy! I need to make them now!!
The hubs and I made pumpkin whoopie pies for Thanksgiving a few years ago! They were delicious! After reading this, I can’t for the life of me figure out why we haven’t made them much more often…
I have never heard of them but they look delicious. Would certainly like to give them a try.
Whoopie Pies are a New England tradition! Homemade is the best, but if you need a quick fix, whoopie pies from Steve’s Snacks, Skowhegan, Maine hits the spot!
Heard them, ate them, LOVE THEM. And being born and raised in Lancaster County, PA… I think we have the best whoopie pies EVER. I think that this area may have even invented them but, I don’t really know the Whoopie History.
Would love a book!
Heard of them, I think I’ve ate them, but never made ’em! Want to though…looks super easy and delish!
oo, those look delish! I’ve never tried a whoopie pie, they look like beautiful and ultra yummy creations!
I’ve never made them, but this post is making me want to change that! Yum.
I’ve heard of them but never tasted them. Would love to try to make some!
I’ve heard of them but never made them and don’t think I’ve ever tasted one.. They look like fun to try.
I have never made them but I think I have tried them before. This recipe looks wonderful and I can’t wait to make them!! Oh…and I would love the book :)
Ive bought them once at the grocery store, and I would love to make them sometime. Would love to try a vanilla cake with a chocolate frosting.
I’ve never heard of, made, or tasted them before, but they look so delicious, I would love to try them!
My kids love Whoopie Pies as does their mama…That would be an amazing book to win !
Oops! Nevermind I found it! :)
Have heard of them, but never eaten or made them. They look yummy and fairly simple to make!
I’ve never heard of them, but they look good! Makes me want to make some for myself!
I made Red Velvet Whoopie Pies for V-day one year… they didn’t turn out very good though and I haven’t attempted them again! :(
I have never made whoopies, although I have seen them before, but I didn’t know that is what they were called :-) They look simply delicious! I am already thinking of possible flavour combinations – the wheels are turning!!
I lived in Lancaster County, PA for a few years and they are very well known there. I’ve tasted them, but never made any.
I’ve heard of them! I ran a recipe for them in the July issue of the magazine I Art Direct, but I’ve never made them before…
This could be my latest obsession though! I didn’t know there were so many varieties! :) I hit the cupcake craze a year or so ago and literally spent weeks just making different kinds of cupcakes (until my husband politely asked me to stop). Where can we get a copy of the book (in case we don’t win it) ?
So cute! I love the illustrations in the book, too!
I’ve heard of whoopie pies but never made them. I’d love to try my hand at it.
I’ve only seen the ice cream center version. Would love to have this book as I LOVE to bake! :)
I have never made them or tried them. They look reeeaaally sweet but I would hope the book has some less sweet variations. I like the idea of rolling the edges in different things!
One of my good friends makes whoopie pies and I have been trying to find the time to sit with her and make some but life has just been so busy! I would love the book to share with her, or buy her a copy of her very own!
I’ve never made them, but they look amazing! Kids and husbands would eat these up!!
I’ve had them, but it has been way too long! They look yummy and I’m sure my kids would devour them!
I am a northern girl from Pennsylvania, and love love love Whoopie pies. We have a local butcher shop who have amish made pies cakes etc. they have the best Whoopie pies. We used to by them 3 dozen at a time…they would always disappear very quickly. Your post about them reminded me of home and eating them as a kid. :)
I’ve never heard of “Whoopie Pies” but they remind me of posh French macaroons! They look yummy, anyway! I’ll have to make some :)
Dear Whoopie!!!
I have heard of them but only had a very vague notion of what they were… Thanks for the enlightenment… and the chance to win one of these darling books.
My Dad always made EVERYTHING into a sandwich so I think I’ll make these in his honor! He would totally approve!
Love,
‘Wich One Will I make in NE
I Like Whoopie-Pies… yum!
i’ve heard of them…but never knew what they were! Definitely making some this week!
I had them for the first time this year. We have a mom that is a wonderful baker at our school. They were red velvet with a cream cheese center, delish! BTW, I love your blog thank you for the great pics and entries. It’s always a treat when I see Bakerella in my inbox ;~) !! ~ Lisa ~
I’ve never had one- but they sure sound great to me!!!
Food network showed how to make whoopies once on a show, can’t remember who made them. Then I have seen them at Central Market here in Dallas. They looked wonderful on television, but the ones at Central Market were not so tasty. I guess I need to make my own, then they would be wonderful I am sure! What is not to like, a great cake with icing in the middle!
Heard of them, never made them, never even had them :( but really do want them! :)
I love whoopie pies! I’ve never made them before but might try with this recipe! Yum!
Yummmm! I’d love to learn how to make them.
Never made them, but would love to try!
heard of then and now thanks to you i’m making them! :)
I’ve made losts of filled cookies before, but nothing called a whoopie pie. They look so soft and chewy. Can’t wait to try them!
I have only heard of the book and was instantly wanting to make some. Our local paper also recently ran an article on them. I’m either making cake pops or whoopie pies for my daughter’s 2nd birthday party this weekend!
Def heard of them, but haven’t eaten or made them. Yet!
Had the chocolate with vanilla filling ones growing up all the time. Haven’t had one in soooo long. Today’s my birthday, maybe I will make some as a birthday treat :)
My daughter and I made these this morning – they’re awesome!
never heard of them!! but they look and sound delicious!!
I made them once for my coworkers. I made them with peanut butter frosting inside. They were a huge hit! I normally always make chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting, these were a nice change.
Love Whoopie Pies!!!! Thanks for the yummy recipe.
I’ve heard of them but have never attempted to make them. They look delicious – wow, do I ever have a craving now!
My husband and I love whoopie pies! Our favorites are from Wicked Woopies in Maine.
I can’t wait to try to make my own! Yum!!
I love whoppie pies! i live close enough to amish country that every time i go get one whoppie pie at a road side stand and it’s always delicious. I’ve never tried to make them myself, but now i think i will!
My mom is from the midwest, and she used to make whoopie pies for my dance recital bake sales. I would love to make some and surprise her with some yummy treats!
I love Whoopie Pies! I made a Pumpkin “Pie” w/ Cream cheese filling, it was fabulous!!!
OMG these whoopie pies will surely have the whole family whoopin’ and hollerin’ for more! I am a chocoholic and can’t wait to try all the versions that incorporate chocolate in some form or fashion. Whoopie pies have only been on my radar for about a year and your post about them makes the urge to “make whoopie” irresistible. They look so fluffy that I’m quite sure they must be figure friendly, right? I’m ready to WHOOP it UP! Thanks for the incentive.
I’ve never made whoopie pies or tried them but they sound vaguely familiar? Either way, I’d love to learn more and I’m adding this recipe to my ever-increasing list to try from your website!
I live in Amish Country, OH and before this lived in North Eastern Indiana. These are very common in both areas. Most of our local bakeries sell the chocolate ones with the fluffy vanilla filling and sometimes pumpkin with the same filling. I’ve never made them myself.
I’ve made something like that with cake mix cookies before, but now I want to try those chocolate whoopies! Woo – they look delicious!!
OMG! I would make every single recipe. I have been collecting recipes to make for my brothers. They love these things but have only had store bought and I know homemade will just blow them away. Oooooh, I hope I get selected….pick me Mr. Random selector guy.
How cute are they???!! Never made them, but would LOVE to try!!
i made whoopie pies for the first time this last fall. pumpkin spice with a mascarpone filling. delish!
My Grandma use to make the best!
Heard of them, never ate them, and I never made them either! Can’t wait to try!!
whoopie pies look awesome! i’ve seen them but would love to make some!
I have heard of them. I never never eated them or known where to even begin making them. I would like to learn more, they look so easy to make and delish!!
heard of them and have been dying to try and make them myself. It looks so tasty!
I’ve heard of them… never eaten them. Would love to make them :)
I want to make them if I only had a book to look them up in :)
my son loves to make similar cookies out of cake mix and frosting, they’re his favorite he says, chocolate of course!
Whoopie pies have been on my “to do” list for quite some time. Reading your blog makes me want to leave work right now to go home and start a batch. Oh how I would simply adore winning this book :o )
I love whoopie pies! I haven’t made them in a long time and I’ve only made the traditional chocolate ones. Peanut butter filling sounds so yummy. You’ve given me some motivation!
Can’t say I’ve ever made them or tried them but they sure do look cute. They would be great for a party display with rows and rows all with different color and type of filling. Lots of fun!. Would love to have a copy of the book – it looks beautiful.
I have never made whoopie pies, but have fallen in love with the scrumptious images of them scattered throughout blogland. I can’t wait to make some whoopie in my kitchen! (pie that is)
Wow! Whoopie!!! I’ve always heard a lot about them, but never made them – thanks for the pics and recipe – I’ll try them out this weekend!
I’ve heard of whoopies but unfortunately never had one! :(
So yummy – and you can’t go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter! I have heard of these, but never made them … would love to try it out!
Yummmmmmm! Woohoo for Whoppies! Never heard of them but look forward to making and eating some!!!
Those look yummy…and FUN to make! Can’t wait to try them.
Ooooo. I haven’t had whoopie pies in years. I’ll be adding these to my repertoire.
This is so funny. This weekend we went to a small bakery and bought a couple of their whoppie pies. I thought I should find out if there is a recipe for these. You are a mind reader. Thank you!!!
Have made whoopies, they were delicious! Also, we have a rectangle shaped ice-cream sandwich here in Ireland which I replicated at home using the chocolate whoopie recipe, just shaped them into a rectangle(ish) shape – we were all very sad when they were finished :o)
Woopie pies are a family favorite! Hope to make some before the summer days are gone!
have not made them…heard of them, wasn’t interested until seeing this post…and now? i must make them…
I made whoopie pies once, but they were a total mess. Sticky, ooey, and too soft. Maybe this book will help me with a better recipe :)
Whoopie Pies are not popular around here although I have heard of them. I really want to find your book though (or win it!)… I’d love to try making some!
I’ve never heard of them but they look delicious! Yum!
Yes, I’ve made Whoopie pies. My favorite are pumpkin with a cream cheese filling. So, yes, I have eaten them.
i’ve never eaten a whoopie pie…but i’d sure love to!!
I’ve never made them, but I’ve had them. YUM! They are one of my favorite go to gifts for the holidays or to say “thank you” to someone. I’ve ordered them from a bakery in the Northeast, but I’d love to try making some at home!
Heard of them, never had one, but they look delish!! Would love to make some whoopie too! :)
I never knew what Whoopie pies were. I had never even heard of the term…other than a “Whoopie Cushion” (LOL!). My manager was the one that recently introduced me to this divine concoction…I’ve never been the same since! Ever since I was a kid, I’ve had a love for all things sandwiched….ice cream sandwiches, moon pies, creme-filled cookies, Lil’ Debbie Cakes, Oreo Cakesters, but NOTHING measures up to these. I am a WHOOPIE PIE FANATIC!!!!!!
No, unfortunately I have never made “Whoopie” pies, but after seeing your gorgeous creations, I’d certainly LOVE to try. :)
I have heard of these, just never made or eaten them. They look like so much fun!
Love them…never made them…but would like to try, they look delish!
Yippee for Whoopies! These look like so much fun! I would LOVE the recipe book! :)
I adore whoopie pies! I love the oatmeal ones with marshmallow filling from the King Arthur Cookie Companion. Happy byproduct? Loads of homemade marshmallows, nom.
SusieCakes whoppie pies. Delish~
I have never made them but I think I am going to! That book looks scrumptious, I think I will have to pick that up too!
I have a friend who has an awesome pumpkin recipe that I keep trying to get!!
Definitely heard of them, never made them, but have eaten them…yummo!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I would love this book! My hips are not thanking me, i have been making chocolate whoopie pies with marshmallow fillings on a weekly basis. Would be great to try other flavours!!!
I have heard of them but never made them. I need this book! I can’t wait to try this recipe!!
love Woopie pies and had them as a littlbe girl growing up in Pittsburgh when I got old enough to bake helped my mom make them. We did the standard chocolate with the fluff frosting. Haven’t made them in years and we were having a bakesale at work around valentines day and had some different size heart shaped cookie cutters so I picked one filled with dough baked them and filled with pink tinted frosting and wow they were a hit. the were a nice size and we got $2 a piece for them and actually on e of the ladies I work with bought all 8 that I made alot of people down here in Ft Lauderdale have never heard of woopie pies. Now I see you can make different flavors and fillings that is really awesome.
I didn’t know whoopies existed! But surely I will try them! That looks like a yummy little snack!
What better way to begin by winning the book recipies!? :P
I’ve heard of them, and I think I ‘ve had them…. I made something kind of similar out of cake mix and put frosting in the middle. I guess that’s a weird answer, but maybe I could make legit ones with this book!
I can’t believe an entire cookbook devoted to Whoopie Pies…YUM! I’ve eaten the traditional flavor and a pumpkin cookie with a spiced filling, but I love the idea of the chocolate cookie with salty peanut butter filling. My husband and kids will love these…now I just need a reason to make them. Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE whoopie pies. My mom made the best ones, I use her recipe, but somehow they are just not as good.
Today is my birthday, I think it would be an awesome birthday present to win this book!
Tina
I have heard of them, but never had one or made them. Would love to with this book. Thanks for a great giveaway!
I’ve made these before and my kids loved them. I, of course, abstained. HA! We call them Whoopie Pies here but not many people have heard of them. But oh man, are they great!
Jill
I first heard of them 12 years ago as a young newlywed , in my taste of home magazine, I am in the pacific NW and they aren’t a cultural staple here, the results were terrible , I remember it callled for an insane amount of shortening ( shudder) for the filling and it curdled when I added the milk , probably my inexperience but I never attempted them again , I will now though they look YUM!!
I recently relocated from TN to Maine, and whoopie pies are HUGE here. They are offered at every restaurant, grocery store, gas station, etc. I had mentioned to someone that I had tried one and didn’t love it — the cream fillings was not sweet and a little too “lardy” for me, but someone suggested i try a “WICKED whoopie pie” (another Maine thing) that was pumpkin spice with cream cheese feeling… best decision of my life.
I’ve had a whoopie pie at my favorite bakery here in CA – SusieCakes. It was sooo delicious!
I have a recipe in a Cook’s Country cookbook, but have yet to take the plunge. And I’ve seen pans for baking the cookie at Sur la Table.
I saw them on http://www.goodmoodfoodblog.com and always wanted to make&eat them… :)
Can I just say that they are adorable!!! I have never made them but would love to give it a try!
I have made the Pumpkin Whoopie Pies (recipe in the “Baked” cookbook) and they flew off the platter like hot cakes. I had an issue with the filling bit too soft thus making it seem like each whoopie pie had too much filling but that is probably my impatience in not waiting for the filling to firm up in the fridge.
Whoopie pies are pretty much unknown here in Quebec – I discovered them on the Web. What we do have, however, is a commercial version that is quite similar: and industrial (very common) little cake called “Jos Louis” – basically, a chocolate whoopie pie diped in chocolate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos._Louis How decadent is that?
I love making whoopie pies. My favorite part is when you put on the top and watch the filling squish.
I’ve made red velvet whoopie pies for a Christmas party before… they were oh-so-good!!
I just found your site! These look extremely YUMMY!
I’ve heard of them and made them, but unfortunately don’t know of a good place to get them here!
I’ve never heard of them… but they look really tasty!!! :)
I have definitely heard of them but have never made them. Would love the book!
Thanks!
YUMMY!!! I used to work with a gal that mades these, but never with peanutbutter filling YUM…
i am heading to the kitchen…thanks!!
Melissa from Naches, WA
I have definitely heard of them!!! When I went to the Big E ( fair in new england) There was a whoopie stand….so good and so many different flavors. I have never made them though.
I have never seen one in person or eaten one, but those pictures sure look delicious!
Yes I have heard of them, but never made them. I would love to make them, yours look good maybe better then the store made ones! YUMMY!!!
I’ve only made them once… I made shamrock whoopie pies out of green velvet cake cookies – they turned out adorable for St. Patty’s Day! http://homeiswheretheholmansare.blogspot.com/2010/03/shamrock-sandwich-cookies.html
Never ever heard of them but they sound fantastic!!!
I’ve heard of them, but never made or eaten them. I’ve been wanting to, though!
I just saw this book the other day and thought it looked like so much fun. I’ve heard of these delicious looking creations, but have yet to try them for myself!
My mom is from, Boston, and she introduced me to them. Now I have heard of them, and failed to make them once, and that was that for me. :( But these look amazing! Yum. I wonder if there is a recipe in there for a refreshing summer fruit one?
I’ve made them before and they were a big hit with my children. I’ve never tried the peanut butter filling. Don’t know why not as I have a killer cake with peanut butter filling. Just never occurred to me before. Sure will now.
My Sunday school teacher used to make these every week! They were basically like Oreos and they were amazing. I need to try making them!
Those look delicious! I’ve seen these all over blogs, but I’ve never even gotten to taste one.. much less make one!! This book must be super awesome!
I never heard of them while I lived in Texas, but when I moved to Maryland, I heard about them a lot. I’ve never had one (nor made one) though, so I’m pretty excited to try this recipe out!
Ooh pick me! They are very popular up here in Lancaster. I have an amish cookbook with a recipe that I make myself, would love to have that book! They are delish!
these look divine! i once made whoopie pies and took them to the office-everyone asked what they were. only one of my coworkers had every heard of whoopie pies.
I have never tasted them but they look delicious. I am going to have to try them out
I love whoopie pies! there is a great place in asheville, nc that sells them!
I’ve never made them before, but I have heard of them. They look delicious!
what an awesome cookbook!
I haven’t done any of this whoppie thing’s, but I’ve tasted the ones that come in a package with the drawing of a little girl and I can’t remember the name, I guess is something like little Susy, I don’t know, but there very good, I can’ imagine what the real thing will taste like. If I don’t win I’m getting the book.
I have heard about them, never tasted it but interested to make one. Just glad I can use the muscovado sugar my Mom gave me from the Philippines.
Mmmm… I’ve been dying to make whoopie pies! No trip to Maine is complete without a whoopie pie.
Love Whoppie Pies…….my grandmother use to make them when I was a child. She called them “gobs”.
My mom made these all the time when we were kids. We called them gobs though.
have never made these but they look oh so yummy and a dessert thats right up my boys alley! (the big one and the little one!) win or no win i am gonna try these and treat my boys to something sweet and yummy! thanks
Oooh!! Never made of them and never had a chance to try them for myself (not a popular item here in western Canada for some reason); but mmm they look great!
Heard of ’em… had ’em… love ’em!! Favorite is the oatmeal- can’t wait to make ’em!
a sandwich of anything is a legitimate excuse to eat more yumminess at one time! and salty peanut butter…help me, it sounds so good!
There’s a version at a bakery near me in Floyd, VA that uses pistachio filling and a vanilla cake. I’ve been craving them since I started my third trimester of pregnancy this week…I’d love this book so I could start making them myself at home :)
I’ve been waiting for another post for what seems like an eternity!
I’ve never made whoopie pies, though… I’m kind of hesitant because I’ve never had one so I’m not sure if I’ll like them but I’m willing to try this summer!
I’ve heard of them but never tried them before. I don’t think they are very popular here in California…maybe they are more regional to the south? Anyway, they look delicious, I would love to have the book and try them out! Thanks for the opportunity!
I’ve never heard of them but they look delicious!
I’ve heard about them, but I’ve never been interested in baking them – they just seem so imperfect… maybe it’s high-time to try this recipe out?
I’ve never made them, but I grew up in Pennsylvania and the Amish sell them at their road-side produce stands. SO GOOD! We gave them out as favors at our wedding!
I’ve heard of them but, never tried them. You make it sound so easy!!
These look delicious!! I would love a book to explore different flavors :)
That graham cracker whoopie pie may be a great way to approximate a moon pie, my hubbie’s favorite treat. The moon pie would be the closest thing I’ve ever had to a whoopie pie.
I’ve never made them but I’ve heard of them! They look like they should taste like oreo cakesters, only much much better!
Wow. I’ve never heard of these before. They are so cute! I’d love to make these…maybe a chocolate cake with strawberry filling..yum!
My husband loves whoopie pies, this would be a great gift!!!
I have heard of whoopie pies but never eaten nor made them. But I will make some soon! Maybe mini ones and cover them in chocolate.=)
I’ve heard of them but have never tried one before. They look scrumptious!
I love whoopie pies! I grew up in the Northwest and now I live in the midwest… but I thought they were from the south? Anywhoo, my favorite are chocolate with cream cheese filling, but I also like those red velvet ones from your site you made a while back :)
I’ve actually just bought this book this past weekend! I absolutely love it! So many different flavors to mix and match, and they all sound so yummy. I really want to try the Maple Bacon filling- I live by the saying “I’m a vegetarian- except for bacon!” Of course, if by some chance my entry is chosen, please feel free to choose someone else.
I’ve never made them OR even tried them! I’ve only heard of them..but these sure do look good. I’ve only heard of the classic chocolate whoopie but with all those cake flavors and fillings…there’s endless combinations. Banana Whoopie? That’s one I’d like to try!
I tried them when I visited Nashville….. oh boy are they good!
Of course I have heard of them…seems crazy to me that people haven’t heard of them :). My aunt made them when I was younger and I live in a small town in Vermont and in our convenience stores they sell maple whoopie pies.
I am totally familiar with whoopie pies! We had them as children but I never made any of my own, although now, I am inspired to try!
Whoopie pies are popular here in New England. The appropriate filling is made with Marshmallow Fluff (other places call it marshmallow creme). The best place to get them is in Maine. Grannies make them to sell at the local gas stations. They’re awesome!
I’m told they’re also popular in Pennsylvania since they were originally an Amish treat. The filling was just cream. It’s suspected that the popularity of the whoopie pie in New England is due to the recipe in a Marshmallow Fluff cookbook put out by the makers of Fluff, the Durkee-Mower company.
I live near Amish country in PA and they make the best Whoopie Pies or gobs, which is what they’re sometimes called, and while I have all this inspiration around me, I have only attempted to make them once and they were no where near as good as the ones at the Amish market! But I’m going to keep trying!
Love them! I have never made them but they look so yummy!
Whoopie – yes — Whoopie pies – no —- but have eaten many in my childhood days! Would so love to make this with my girlies!
I’ve heard of them but never tried one. I’ve certainly never made one but would love to read the book to learn how!
My Mom used to make them all the time while we were growing up. I have made her recipe, but would love to try others!
I made them once, and they were SO much better than the store bought ones! (Always the case, right?)
