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.
YUM and so much fun! My kids make them with their grandma, but it’s using cake mix and I think ready-made ingredients for the filling. Homemade is so much better in my book!
I have seen them out here in PA, especially central PA. I haven’t made them, but I think I will attempt to make them today!
I love whoopie pies, by far the best are the ones my grandma used to make and I’ve never had the courage to try them myself. She did always let me do the filling though….love that memory.
Can’t say that I’ve ever heard of them, but they look so good, I would LOVE to try them out!
a college roomie of mine made homemade oreo cookies. I think it is basically the same thing. They were yummy. I love the idea of different combinations though.
I’ve never made them even I’ve never heard about them… As I’ve read the title of this post at first I’ve thought it is about an actress Whoopie Goldberg and I’ve just imagine “Whoopie Goldberg shaped cake pops” :-D
I’ve always heard of them but don’t remember eating one. I never realized they came in such a variety. The pumpkin and cream cheese filling sounds really delish. Will have to try them (making AND eating).
I’ve been seeing these adorable whoopie pies around blog-land, but I have never made them. I would love to though – they look like so much fun (and delicious!!).
Yes! Made red velvet whoopies for a Valentine’s Day treat.
Yes, I’ve made them, but have not tried peanut butter filling, YUM!
I’ve never made them but they look great!
Yes! I made delicious whoopie pies once, with a cream cheese filling. I would love to win this book to expand my repetoire of whoopie pie recipes!
my husband was just asking me if i ever made them//i will absolutely adore this book. it will keep me from making brownie pillow cookies – 3 batches already since you posted!
I’ve seen them, and eaten them, but never made any of my own. I’d love to have the book to try them out for myself. They look delish!
heard of them, never made them but have eaten the famous whoopie pies out of the vending machine! :0)
I have heard of them, definately ahve never made them….but I’d like to!
I’ve never made them but they do look delish! Mmmmm!
I’ve always wanted to try and bake them, but never found a recipe I wanted to try. Since peanut butter is one of my love languages, I’m sure to try these. Thanks for sharing!
Being a girl of the South, oh yes know them and have made them. Actually, mine didn’t turn out so well.
I love whoppies! I make them for te holidays by making them a little bigger and cutting fun shapes out an rolling the sides in coordinating colored sprinkles!! Yum:)
Never heard, never ate or made. :)
I’m from Upstate NY and I’ve heard, lusted after and eaten them! But never made them myself. I always look forward to the fall when they carry pumpkin with cream cheese filling at our local grocery stores and farm stand. Yummy.
Oh my gosh this brings back memories – my mother used to make whoopie pies all the time – she would try to make them last by freezing some but we would raid the freezer and eat the frozen
I’ve never made these, but think I just may need to try. I think my two girls would love it:)
mmmmmm…not yet, I haven’t but I have thought about it MANY times…and an even harder choice would be the filling! my kids are chocolaholics…so ……..chocolate with chocolate is an obvious choice!
Those look very delicious! I would love to give them a try!
I’ve never made whoopie pies, but they look delicious. Can’t wait to try this recipe!
I love whoopie pies (they’re definitely one of my favorites)! The last time I made them, they were green velvet shamrock whoopies for St. Patty’s Day!!!
it’s 6:30am and all I can think about now is baking these. YUMMY!
Whoopie Pies are very popular here in southeastern Pennsylvania. As I understand it, they are a Pennsylvania Dutch treat. Every farm stand and shop in Lancaster County sells there own version. Yum.
Never made them — but this book could provide just the inspiration I need.
Love whoopie pies…my grandmother made them all the time when I was growing up. Her pumpkin whoopie pies were to die for!
I’ve only had them once – a college friend brought some to school with her, and they were, of course, a BIG hit! Never made them, though. Definitely putting these on my baking to-do list! :)
whoopie pies are so delicious. never tried making them , but love eating them. will try to make this with the grandkids this summer. thanks for the recipie.
lois
from chicago home of the stanley cup champions blackhawks!
These look so good. Will be trying this recipe as soon as I get a chance.
I have heard of them, but I’ve never made them. This book sounds like so much fun!
YUM! I’ve never made them, but I’d love to make some for my son’s 2nd birthday in September!
What a neat book.
I have heard of them, eaten them, never knew how to make them……
You are the best Bakerella.
I’ve never heard of or made whoopie pies! I would love to try though!!!
I’ve made chocolate whoopies with a pumpkin filling but this book is outrageous! Love it!
Whoopie pies are a “staple” here around me In PA…the Amish are great whoopie pie makers! My mama used to make them for us, but I’ve never tried! Scared to mess up a good thing maybe! But I’d love to learn to become a whoopie pie queen~
I have made these for bake sales and they are a hit…I will have to get the book for more recipes.
Lots of places here in England have started doing them, but they are much more biscuity than cakey – hard dry biscuit with buttercream, ugh! I hope I win the book so I can show them how to do it right!
So fun!
I believe I’ve heard of these wonderus Whoopie Pies, but I have never tried them. Something makes me thing it’s a Southern thing….
I’ve heard of them and I’ve had them (deee-lish!) but I don’t know where to get them and I never thought to make them…until now! That is a beautiful-looking book! Believe me, I would definitely be making them out of that book!
Bakerella…not only have I heard of Whoopie Pies …I have made Whoopie Pies…and eaten Whoopie Pies…and now there is a whole book of Whoopie Pies…..WHOOPIE !!!!!
They used to be called Scooter Pies, but with a harder cookie.Would love to learn how to make more! Yummy fun!
I’ve actually never heard of ‘whopies’ but to me they look like macaroons? And they also looks really tasty. I’ve never tried one so I would love to get the book.
I have never had one and I have never made them but have always wondered. I would love to try them and they look sooo good and easy. What is your favorite combination?
I’ve heard of them. Never had one nor made them. Very interested though.
I grew up eating whoopie pies! The original flavor, chocolate with white filling…yum!
Oh my gosh, so funny that you should post this today! While grocery shopping Saturday I noticed that our store had a display of fresh, locally-made whoopie pies is a couple of yummy flavors. Of course I couldn’t resist and grabbed a classic chocolate with white filling. We live in Richmond, VA and don’t see whoopie pies a whole lot around here but they seem to be more well-known in the rural areas. Especially where there’s any interaction with Amish
I have never made whoopie pies, but have made creme filled cupcakes which might be similar. Kids loved the cupcakes and sure they would love the whoopie pies also. Thanks for the opportunity to win a fun cookbook!
Those look so good! I have made whoopie pies before, but it has been years ago.
I love them! I made some just the other day – lemon cake part with a raspberry whipped cream filling from Martha Stewart. Absolutely delicious.
I’ve never made whoopie pies but they have been on my “must try” list for quite some time now. My nephews each get a huuuge one when we go on vacation every summer. I’d love to make all different kinds for them to try out :)
I’ve never heard of whoopie-pies, but they look yummy!! I’ll definitely make them!
I’ve never made whoopies but those look sooo yummy!
I would love to win a copy of that book! There is a farm stand near me that sells some DELISH whoopies! WOW! Please pick me random number generator!
I have made whoopie pies. I made Red Velvet Whoopie Pies with a cream cheese filling.
There is a place an hour and half away known for her famous Whoopie Pies. I checked them out just last week. INCREDIBLE.
We used to just buy them out of the box at the store. I have never had homemade ones! I bet they blow store ones out of the water!!!
I had a friend who was always talking about whoopie pies and how amazing they were, but I had never heard of them before her! These look so delicious though, mmmm. I would love to try and make them though!
I made some chocolate whoopie pies with marshmallow buttercream for work recently but no one had ever even heard of them! I am excited about trying different combinations.
oooh, i love makin’ woopie…pies. thanks for the giveaway. pick me!!
I first learned how to make them as a kid, using a devil’s food cake mix as a base, but adding some extra flour and other ingredients. I never thought to try making them with other flavors!
Sounds delicious. Let’s get baking! My kids would love making these!
never ever heard of them but they look fabulous!
I’ve made whoopie pies once before… and they were delicious! I’d love to get my hands on a book full of recipes :)
Mmmm..never made them and don’t think I’ve ever tasted them before, but they look devine!!!
I’ve been wanting to try a whoopie pie for ages! We meant to go to the amish country area where I know they’re prevalent last summer and never made it – if I try this recipe i won’t have to cry over missed opportunities any more!
You know I want one! I’ve always known about whoopie pies, but have never actually made them, unless you consider cutting the tops off of cupcakes and sandwiching them together with frosting a whoopie pie or at least my version of one. To quote someone famous, “YUMMO”!
S.W.A.K.
I’ve heard of them but never ate them or certainly never made them. But they sure look delicious – my kids would love them!
Whoopie pies are pretty well known here in PA Dutch Country, but all those delicious flavors sound amazing. Chocolate peanut butter with peanut butter chips? Oh yum.
I’ve heard of whoopie pies before but this post has truly inspired me to make them. Thank you!!
Never heard of them, been there, or done that…but I’d really, really like to!
Of course I’ve heard of them! Maybe it’s a New England thing? I’m from Boston…
Wow those look super yummy! I’ve never had a whoopie pie :[ that’s why i neeeeeeed the book! lol
man these look fun – i haven’t ever had whoopie pies before but these look much tastier than the ones i see at the store…definitely have to try ’em out!
Ummm yummy. Never made them but i’ve had them and they are to die for. I’d love to win this!
I love me some whoopie pies! But honestly, I’ve never made them. My grandmother used to make a chocolate whoopie pie with light buttercream filling. It looked like a homemade Oreo on steroids. I would love a copy of Makin’ Whoopie…if not for the kitchen counter, for the coffee table.
My granddaughters love Whoopie Pies, so I would love to get the book so that I can make different versions of them.
YUMMY!!!!! Never made them &I’ve only eaten the kind from the grocery store. I definitely want to make some whoopie pies!
I have never made whoopies before but will someday soon try too. They look fun to make and very tasty with lots of different ingredient combinations. Thanks for the chance of winning!
I have never had a whoopie pie, but I’m dying to try some now. What a perfect little treat to make. Would LOVE to have the book!
I’ve never made whoopie pies, but I’ve eaten them–there used to be a little bakery down the street from my house that made wonderful ones, but they’ve closed down! :(
Never heard of them or tried them, but I feel I now have to make them…
Love them…we don’t live far from Amish Country, they have them everywhere! I make a pumpkin spin on the whoopie pie – huge hit!
I used to make Whoopie Pies when my kids were at home. They were oh, so yummy but just didn’t last long!!! I am thinking those chocolate ones with the salty peanut butter filling would disappear pretty quickly, too!!
Yum yum me want whoopie!! I have ate commercially made whoopie but I would love to make my own.
I grew up in the South and ate them as a child. I can’t wait to make these!
never made them and had never heard of them!…but they look darn good and I can’t wait to try making them!!!
They look great! Thanks for sharing!
Oh, I love whoopie pies! I grew up with them (they’re a New England favorite). I still bring the classic chocolate version to parties and they are gone in an instant. I’d love to expand my repetoire.
LOVE Whoppie Pies. They are huge in Northern New England. I once made them for a Pie Party got National Pie Day! Delicious! Can’t wait to check out the book for different varieties.
I love Whoopie Pies!! So far I have made red velvet whoopie pies and a chocolate peanut butter whoopie pies. I would love to make more, they are delicious!
Funny, on impulse I just bought a mix of red velvet whoopie pies at William Sonoma this week. I thought it would be a fun thing to make while my 16 yr old niece is visiting. Next time I will try a homemade batch
Well one place to find Whoopie Pies is on your supermarket shelves. lol. Don’t you think they sort of look like America’s supersized, supersoft answer to the french macaron?
I was a whoopie pie virgin until about 3 months ago. A few specialist bakers have started to sell them in Belfast. As usual your tutorials inspire me to make make make!
Never made them, but they look yummie & fun! Thanks for sharing!
Last time I made them I put too much batter and they came out the size of a salad plate. Even I couldn’t eat it all. But they were yummy! Can’t wait to try the PB recipe!
My parents took me to Amish Country as a kid and I had these treats. Wrapped in celaphane…I never forgot them! Made them one time, but this book is inspiring me to make more!
Wonderful – this weeks project! Never made these before but also had never made cupcake burgers and fries or cake pops and love those…thanks for the inspirations and fun!
Yum, yum! I can always remember whoppie pies…they were my moms favorite treat!
Never made them. Seen them tasted them love them. This books looks lovely I want it.
Just discovered them about a year ago. never made them, but will try now!
Whoopie pies were a favorite summer treat growing up in my Connecticut home! My mom still makes them for picnics and parties! I’ve never made them myself, but I can attest to their fun-ness!
Wowie…an entire book dedicated to my all time childhood favorite?! Heaven! I’ll make them a couple times a year–more often than that and I’m eating them all by myself…not that there’s anything wrong with that. I’ve always stuck with the basic chocolate with white filling. Recently found a pumpkin whoopie pie recipe I’m waiting to try out…
I’ve never made them, but I’ve certainly heard of them and definitely have eaten my fair share!
I’ve never heard of them, but they look delicious!
I want Becca’s (#66) recipe!
OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH! I LOVE whoopie pies and HAVE made them although only once! They were chocolate and white cream filled and had NO idea there was a whole book about them! I would love to have this book! Thanks to the authors and to you for offering the chance to win one! I think I will take the recipe you offered for us today and make some this afternoon… sounds so delish!
xoxox
Deb
I’ve never heard of a whoopie but they look DELICIOUS so i would love to try one!
I had never heard of them up to the last few years. I would love to be making some whoopie!……………..um, pies.
I have never made whoopie pies… but I think my husband would love me forever if I gave it a try! They look beautiful. =)
Never heard of them! Never made them! But they look delicious!!
Just a question… how are you announcing the winners? I never seem to find out, and it doesn’t come up in my reader when you announce…. :( Didn’t know if you were just editing the original post which would be why I never see who the winner is (b/c I usually forget I entered!). :D
I’ve heard of them, but I’ve never made them or tried them – they look SO cute. We don’t have anything like it in Australia!!
Heard of them, never made them, would like to try!
I used to get these from the Amish food stands back in Ohio, where you can buy them in 4- or 6-packs. You could also get them at the fairs. Alas, since I have moved to Maryland I don’t get them anymore. A friend of mine from Mass told me about the pumpkin kind which I have been dying to try. I would love a little taste of home about now…
I made whoopie pies a long time ago before I had any cake decorating experience and spread the filling between the cakes. Piping seems so much easier! Now I want to make some again! Thanks for the post :)
Growing up in Maine, whoopie pies are in most convenience stores that sell sandwiches. Or Mom would make them once in a while. Here in FL, if my kids want one I have to make them. Thanks to my daughters boyfriend who had never heard of them before, they are now known as “wookie pies” ’round here….;)
A cook book full of all sorts of different wookie pies?? Sounds like heaven!
Pumpkin – that’s all I have to say. No – not really! I found pumpkin whoopie pies – and I love them. I ship them to my grandkids who fell in love with them while visiting. I have made chocolate ones – but not anything else! I’m so glad someone wrote a cookbook! Now, to take those recipes and adapt for my gluten free daughter.
i tried to make them one time, but it was a failure … perhaps with this book i could succeed!
I never had a whoopie pie! They look delicious!! :)
woopie pie with espresso buttercream filling. mmmmm…..
oh- they are HEAVEN! I used ot get them when I visited Mt Carmel Pa where my family was from.
Oh I just love Whoopie pie’s. I make the pumpkin ones with a spiced cream cheese filling.. Oh so good at autumn time.
I’ve never made whoopie pies, though I have heard of them. According to a supermarket magazine I picked up a few weeks ago in the UK they’re the new fashionable thing, kicking cupcakes out of the limelight!
Would love to win…4 kids…4 birthday parties a year. This would make a great substitute for the traditional birthday cake…
I’m from Oz and have never heard of them, but I’m going to give them a go, they look delicious.
I’ve made the classic chocolate, the red velvet, and a to-die-for Pumpkin with cream cheese filling. I would love trying other combinations!
I guess I’ve tried the oreo cakesters and that sounds similar, but never made them. I just realized I’ve have a heart shaped pan for making these that I’ve never used correctly!
Saw them all over New England when we lived there. Very Yummy! We live in Omaha, Nebraska now…I haven’t seen them until yesterday a woman tried to sell me some lemon whoopie pies.
Good LORD those look good! I’ve never made my own, but have had them before…we have a local grocery store that makes them but I’ve always wanted to try my hand at them. I saw a Pumpkin Whoopie Pie recipe years ago that’s in my “To Bake!” file!
I know what i’m making once the weather cools down. Yummmm. I’ve heard of these but I have never seems them in the stores up here in Canada.
we loooove whoopie pies. never made them, but will now!!!
I’ve never even EATEN one! Doesn’t mean I don’t want to, though Ü Can’t imagine what a store bought one would taste like. Hopefully they’re not like Moon Pies from the grocery store….looks like a soggy stale sponge.
I’ve heard of them, but only the cellophane wrapped, nasty looking kind that come from a convenience store. I would love to make some of these, though – they look amazing!
Mmmm…red velvet whoppie pies are a favorite that I have made for my nieces!!!
I’ve definitely heard of them, called both Whoopie Pies and Gobs. There’s a craft festival in central PA where they sell ones that were 1lb. each. No kidding- I weighed them. I’ve tried to make pumpkin whoopie pies once but they didn’t go well- I don’t like cream cheese so I tried to substitute a different filling that was a bit disastrous. A variety of recipes would definitely help.
Alot of the Amish and Mennonite in our area (Lancaster county, PA) make them. We love them but, have never made them as I just buy them from the local farm market. Would love to try my hand and baking them.
I’ve never made them, but it looks super fun! The book looks fantastic!
These remind me of the ice cream cookie sandwiches at Canada’s Wonderland, but this won’t melt all over your hands before you finish it… Or cost an extra $40 just to get into the park. Sounds Perfect!
I’ve made them before, but didn’t know what they were called. They’re kinda like those Oreo cakesters, but better! I made chocolate cookies with peanut butter filling too!
I’ve never made them but had heard their name. They look a lot like macaroons, especially those lovely paper scrapbooking ones I see all over Etsy. YUM
I have heard of them but the only place I could ever get a really good one was up in PA at the Amish markets. they have about 5 flavers and my hubby loves the peanutbutter. this would be awesome to know how to make them. And to know what kind of flavors can be made , not just the standard white cream and chocolate cake so looking forward to this…. THANKS
I have heard of whoopie pies but have not tasted them – sounds like fun to make!
Ive attempted to make whoppie pies a time or 2 …or 3, but never successfully. Perhaps this book will change my whoppie pie luck!
yes i have made them! they were red velvet and delicious!!
never baked w-pies…never ate them but … they do look mighty good!
I’ve never had home made ones. I’m sad, I think I’ve been missing out on something great :(
I have heard of them but never made them!
That book is beautiful !!
Pumpkin whoopie pies with cream cheese filling! Yum.
Those look delicious! I’ve been wanting to try them..these look so fun and delicious!
Never tried whoopie pies… but would love to try them!! :)
Yes, I’ve made them lots of times! I work as a pastry chef at a college, and I made these for the students sometimes. (by the hundreds!) I’d really like some new ones to try, though….. ;)
you can get them everywhere (I live in Boston). My favorite kind is around in fall – pumpkin cake with cream cheese middle. yum.
Oh, I’ve heard of them. The buzz I’ve heard is that whoopie pies are the new cupcakes! The cupcake shop near my office has started making them with day-old cupcake tops, which are pretty awesome. I, personally, have made your own Red Velvet Sandwich Cookie recipe, which seem pretty whoopie-like to me.
I’ve heard of them but never seen or tried them myself. This book looks FAB!
Never head of whoopies before, but they look AWESOME! And the name makes me giggle like the immature child I am. hehe :)
I love them! I lived in PA where these are almost a staple treat- the Amish make them best! And I have also seen this book and thought…. YES! Now I KNOW I have to try!!! And with a twist… !
My mom has always made them! Love them! My fave of the ones she makes would be Pumpkin with a Cream Cheese filling!
These look whoopielicious!! I can’t wait to try them!
My children love whoopie pies! We even have a whoopie pie cake pan! They originated as a Pennsylvania Dutch treat and since we live in Pennsylvania near the Amish we see them at all of our farmers markets in the area! The pumpkin ones are especially good!
I first saw Whoopie Pies being sold on QVC. They remind me of Suzy Qs – from Hostess. This looks like something I could try…..what a fun homemade gift – – a set of these all packaged up in a pretty box!
I’ve never made them but I do prefer cakes to cookies so these look perfect. Anything with salted peanut butter is a must try!
I’ve made them and my boys loved them. I didn’t know there were different variations, though! Now I have to see what else I can do with them :)
I’ve never made whoopie pies, but I want to try them. They sound a little like Oreo Cakesters, but I’m sure since they’re homemade they would be even more delicious! :)
Looks like I’m the same as a lot of the others – I’ve heard of these tasty treats but never made them – they look yummy!
These are really popular in PA Dutch Country where I live. We only see the classic chocolate cake with the plain white or peanut butter filling, though. It would be fun to try some “exotic” flavors! Thanks for sharing!!!
I can’t wait to make these. It would be so much more fun to make from a beautiful new book.
Thanks for the giveaway!
2 cookies and filling — have to be great.
Crushed peanuts on the edge of the chocolate PB one would be yum too.
I have had them! And Love them! My aunt makes the best homemade whoopie pies I have ever had….Ever!! Did I say ever??? They are sooo good. :) I keep saying I need to have her over to show me how…then I can blog about it.
I love the cuteness of this book..I hope I win~
I have been told I make the best whoopee pies…I know the recipe by heart. I love them, Crisco and all.
I LOVE whoopie pies! The best I have had are carrot cake pies with a cream cheese filling made by a local farm – so delish!
I can’t wait to try making these! I’m thinking a Smores version would be delicious.
I’ve never made them yet but they are so yummy! I’ve gotten them at whole foods here in CT. Will def have to get the book!! Thanks for sharing it!!!
I remember eating them as a kid…don’t know where to get them. Can’t wait to try this recipe, and would LOVE to win, that darling book! Thanks for the chance!
Mmmmmmmmm…. love ’em. Haven’t made ’em yet, though.
I haven’t had a whoopie pie in years! We used to get them all the time at the local farmer’s market–then we moved. :( I would love to bake them myself!! :)
i have heard of them, but i have never made them or had them. they look amaaaaaaaaaazing!
I make them with Mint filling.
I love the song (makin’ whoopie) and I’ll love this cookies!!!
You have a gift honey!
kisses from Italy
Etta
I actually have made them before. I’m a teacher and took them to my students. They LOVED them! Thanks for the reminder about ’em…
Wow! I’ve heard of them but have never eaten one let alone made one. i love all cakey stuff so would love to win this!! Thanks!
I have heard of whoopie pies but have never made them. They look yummy!
I’d never heard of them until on vacation. My first husband passed away about three years earlier and I’d remarried. We, he, myself and two children went on vacation, to all places, Bessemer, PA. It was a friends house and she is Italian, and of course living in Amish country up there.
The first evening of our visit after a wonderful dinner her mom drops by with dessert. In a large Tupperware container are these little chocolate gobs with filling. That’s what they called them, “Chocolate Gobs”. My husband was silent for the first time.
Now I’m a baker by nature but I never saw him shut up by a dessert. He then explained how he grew up on these in Maine and his mom wouldn’t release the recipe to him; I know, sad, right?
Well my friend gave me her “Chocolate Gob” Whoopie Pie recipe and the rest is baking history. It’s now his most requested dessert of course?
I discovered them three years ago on a driving vacation across the NE United States and Canada. Ben and Jerry’s has a Whoopie Pie flavor in it’s flavor graveyard.
I’ve been curious about Whoopie Pies for some time! I’m from Australia so I hadn’t even heard of them until I started reading US baking blogs, but they sound fun and delicious. I’d love to try my hand at making them myself.
I have heard about them on Cakespy, but when ever I looked up one of the recipes she used it always had ingredients that I couldn’t my hands one! That books looks like it has alot of basic recipes using ingredients I have in my pantry :)
I’ve heard of whoopie pies, but I strongly doubt there is any place near here to get ahold of them. Im just gonna have to make some myself! :D
I have heard of them, but never had them or made them. They look very yummy! :)
We call them ‘gobs’ around this part! Never made them, but I love them!
Heard of them, have eaten store bought, but never made homemade. Send me the book so I can correct that.
Heard of them. But only on your site! Never ever tried one but would LOVE to. I’m Australian, not many people here have any idea what they are! I’d love to educate them wiht that book! :) xx
Heard of them…never had one.
They have just ‘arrived’ over here in the UK – not had a go yet but itching to have a bash!
i have never made them but i think it would be perfect : heart red velvet whoopie pies and cream cheese centers..yummm! :) great giveaway and i love this book..
They look so cute!! I’ve seen these things before, never knew what they were though and never eaten them. x
They look AMAZING! Thank you so much for the recipe, I was looking for something to bake for my in laws visit this weekend. They are obsessed with everything peanut butter and chocolate so these won’t last long!
XD
My friend just made these last week with her daughters! I had heard of them but now I need to make them!
I’d never heard tell of whoopie pies until 2005, when my date from prom told me about them. He surprised me prom night, by bringing a fresh batch of his mother’s home made whoopie pies as a gift!
Prom was fun, but my one and only experience with whoopies was divine!
