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 PiesChocolate 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.

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.
I don’t think that I’ve ever made them but I have eaten them. I would enjoy this cookbook.
I’ve never heard of them, at least not called that… But I can’t help but notice that they seem similar to the Oreo Cakesters that have become my weakness lately! I NEED to make some of my own – they have to be better than store bought! And I would LOVE to win that book… it looks so cute! And I’m sure I would make every combination possible!
I’ve heard of them but have never made them. I hope the book is at my library. They look yummy!
I haven’t ever made whoopie pies, but I saw this book and it looks amazing!
Oh, my sister would love that book! I’ve never tried whoopie pies — something about being afraid of that filling spilling out everywhere — but it’s about time to try something new!
I have heard of them, I’m pretty sure I’ve eaten them, but definitely have never made them. The Pittsburgh Post Gazette just had an article on this book.
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10189/1071056-34.stm?cmpid=fooddining.xml
These would be so much fun to make with or for my 2 boys! I love that there are lots of different flavors to mix & match.
Yes! We call them moon pies, though.
I make them using my recipe for a triple chocolate fudge cooke and marshmallow creme. They’re always a hit!
I grew up in the Lancaster County area, so whoopie pies are a household name to me! I also make them myself – I’ve even created my own filling recipe through trial and error. Whoopie pies rock!
never made em……….but see them everywhere of late……..I’m thinking pumpkin with cream cheese and chocolate chips!! :)
never made it before. but would like to
Never heard of them! I would love to learn more about Whoopies!!!! I am going to try to make the recipe you provided, too! Thanks :)
I’ve heard of them, but never tried them…
maybe now I will!
thanks
I’ve never made them but they look fun to make! And delicious!!
I’ve never made Whoopie Pies, but I was introduced to them in St. Augustine, FL at a little cafe with a big sign in the window that said “fresh made whoopies”. They were delicious! I live in CO, and I never hear of them here…maybe a regional thing? :)
I’ve heard of them, seen several varieties, never actually made them. If it gets cool enough to turn on the oven I think these will have to be tried sometime this week though. Thanks!
What fun to share an old fashioned treat. I had heard of them, but did not know exactly what it was. I looked it up on Wikipedia and found out that it is considered a New England phenomeon and a Pennsylvania Amish tradition. One version of how they got their name Whoopie pie is because when the Amish farmers wife’s would bake them and put them into their husbands lunches, upon discovery the farmers would yell “whoopie”. At that time they were called hucklebucks. They reminded me of a french macaron, though the cake/cookie part seems to be a different texture as well as a more creamy filling. What could be better. Love the idea of peanut butter filling with peanut morsels…….dreamy. Looking for more history I came upon a whole story about the origin of Marshmallow fluff, apparently ii is also considered one of the traditional fillings for whoopie pies, not to mention they said in Maine that they are around the size of a hamburger bun. Oh my.
Those look so delicious! I cannot wait to make them.
I’ve never made them, but have heard of them. Would love to win this book!
I’ve never made them, but have heard all about them. They sound delicious and that book looks amazing!
Heard of them and ate them (pumpkin cream cheese are my favs) but never made them. I’d love to have this book!
I never heard of them until about 3 years ago when I met my dear friend Jill. She worships Whoopie Pies and states they are the best in Shomokin PA! I had the pleasure of eating one at Oakville Grocery in Napa, but she said it did not compare :) Maybe I will give them a whirl!
My Mom used to make woopie pies for me when I was a little kid. I remember helping her make the batter and sandwich the filling between the two cakes.
I’ve made these a couple of times, same recipe both times. The filling contained marshmallow fluff…Have never seen them for sale anywhere.
I’ve made whoopie pies once before, from a King Arthur flour recipe. I think I might have to revisit the idea. Thanks for the reminder!
we make them for my dad when he’s been extra good or for his birthday. the original recipe was from one of my great+ grams from maine and we call them whoopie pies too
I’m from Northern New Jersey, and my best friend moved to New Hampshire about 5 years ago to be closer to her husband’s family. Well, whoopie pies are all the rage up there, and all I ever heard about was how So-and-So’s mother made them the best, or you should only get them from this or that farm stand. And as many times as I’d gone to visit her, I’d never met So-and-So or been to that farm stand! Then I found a recipe for RED VELVET WHOOPIE PIES that looked amazing, and decided I had to try them. I was headed up to NH for her son’s second birthday and whipped up a batch for the party. And they were absolutely fantastic! Everything I had hoped for in a cookie/cake! Thanks for the opportunity to share! :)
Pick me! Pick me!
I’ve heard of whoopie pies, but I’ve never tried one. They’re not easy to find here. But I watch a lot of food network and have seen a show on them. Would love to try ’em. :)
we make them for my dad when he’s been extra good or for his birthday. the original recipe was from one of my great+ grams from main and we call them whoopie pies too
I’ve heard of them. They look delicious! I would love to try making whoopie! :)
I’ve never made them but I have had them ever since I was little. Maybe its a Canadian thing? Have you ever heard of Jo Louies? It’s basically a Chocolate woopie with a very light filling then totally covered in chocolate. They are a staple in school lunches.
Never had one, but have been dying to make them!
I’ve never heard of them but please, please, please can I win so I can start making them?? They look fantastic!
I haven’t had the chance to make Whoopie Pies yet and would LOVE to! They look so good!
I love whoopie pies and would love to have this book even more!
Enjoy eating them but haven’t had the chance to make them yet.
I would love to! All my peeps at work would love to eat some.
Yup, have heard of whoopie pies – are they considered a “southern thing”?
I would love to learn to make different varieties.,….
I’ve never made them, but I’ve heard of them. I live in the South, so they are pretty common here.
Great book! I might have to pick one up. Thanks!
Heard of them and now I want to make them! yummmm
I have heard of them and had some of store bought ones… but the homemade ones look amazing and I need to try those!
We use to enjoy these as kids… My mom called them homemade Oreos :-P
I think a clouded over day like today in Saskatoon deserves these little treats! Off to bake…..
Heard of them…never made them…want to eat them!

I have never even HEARD of them, not to mention never tasted them! Oops. Or no, wait.. I have heard of them, now! Haha. I will have to make them sometime, so I can say that I have also tasted them!
Yummy!! How cute…an entire cookbook made just for whoopie pies!! I can’t wait!
These look freakishly delish.
kimberweeme at gmail dot com
I have heard of these, but never made them..don’t know why other than I think I would be instantly addicted! They remind of double doosies at the American Cookie Co!
never heard of them, but now that I have, I MUST make some!! – mandybeez at gmail
I love a GOOD whoopie pie with a glass of cold milk!!!!
Those look wonderful!! I heard wicked whoopee pies were supposed to be wonderful and life changing ;) thanks!
I’ve heard of them, but never made any… looks so fun! I’d love to experiment with the different flavors in the book!
Great Idea to roll them in the peanut butter morsels! I am going to try them. . . by making them just like you!
I love woopie pies!! We always had them growing up in Massachusettes. I did make them down here in Atlanta (recipe from Martha Stewart Cookies) and no one knew what they were. One piece of advice…serve the day off…they do not keep very well.
I’ve made them – yummy and fun to make.
SAdly, I have neither made nor eaten whoopie pies, although they look so yummy! I will certainly make some very soon!
ooh… haven’t made these, but they look good. :)
B, I’m diggin’ the graphic in the book. How 2010.
I’ve never made WP, though I have heard of them. I think I’d be in favor of trying red velvet WPs. Mmmmm.
I love Whoopie Pies! I picked some up last month when I was in Lancaster Pa. They are so yummy and hard to resist.
I have never heard of them but have eaten similar things! They sound delicious and I would love to try making them!!
I’ve heard of them, even had “real” ones from Pennsylvania, yet I’ve never made them. That book looks wonderful, thanks for the giveaway.
I haven’t made these before – but they look delicious! Would love to make my first whoopie pies with Amy’s book!
I’ve seen them before, but never made them. I also had no idea they were called whoopie pies. But they look awesome!
Never heard of them, never made them….but now I want to!!
I don’t think I’ve ever had one, but they look delicious! You can’t go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter though! :)
OMG I just looked at the wickedwhoopie website last week and thought, those are expensive, I should try to make my own! I’ve never tried it, but I will now! I read that the wicked whoopie pies are amazing…they were on Road Tasted on Food Network a year or so ago and they have lots of cool flavors
Bakerella is a creative & fabulous website!! My hubby enjoys whoopie pies. His faves have come from Amish & Farmers Markets since they’re all fresh & homemade.
They arn’t known here in the UK. I only just heard of them for the first time on friday when I checked out the Hummingbird Bakery website. I started looking into them and really wanted to try them.
Have to say that I found it really freaky that you covered this today!
My favorite are chocolate with a mint filling…mmmm! So, yes, I’ve heard of them and have made them in all sorts of different ways for friends and family.
Of course! We’re from Maine. Whoopie Pies are everywhere :)
I’ve heard of them but never eaten one. They sound yummy!
I LOVE to make whoopie pies! My friend’s Mother-in-Law shared her “secret” recipe with me a few years ago and I make them every year! I’d LOVE to have this book!!!!
I’ve definitely heard of them, they’re practically required eating in New England! Haven’t tried making them yet, though. It’s been too hot out to bake anything!
I have made them with various fillings everyone loves them!
Whoopies look delicious! Never heard of them before, will try the recipe though!
I have heard of them, never made them and my mom loves whoppie pies.
Have made “carrot cake” whoopie pies with cream cheese filling! Super yummy!
I’ve made them before. I actually have s special Pam to bake them on, so I would love to win this to have more recipes to use.
I have never had them, but they sound so delicious!
I LOVE making whoopie pies! My grandmother made them a lot when I was a kid, except we called them Gobs. They are so delicious, the perfect combination of soft cookie and gooey frosting inside! I would love to find more recipes and variations.
I have never heard of them, but they look delish! Cannot wait to try them!
mmm. never made them myself, but corner bakery makes a great one! and in the fall they have pumpkin with cream cheese!
These look so easy to make…but hopefully I can win a book to help me!!! I have heard of these yummy looking thing but have never had one or made one!!
Yum! I’ve been dying to get this book – I love whoopie pies. My favorite to date has been a pumpkin with cream cheese filling. Thank you!
I’ve had a whoopie pie recipe sitting around for about 4 months and i’ve never gotten around to making it. they are big here in the midwest, but out west where i grew up… never saw them.
Tried my first whoopie pie about 10 years ago on a visit to Maine. Fell in love. Would love to make my own.
I have never heard the term whoopie pies before, however, I have made something similar we just called them homemade oreos. I would love to try to make other flavors. Thanks Bakerella
I make whoopies (homemade oreos is what we call them) at our house quit often, but I have only made the traditional chocolate with cream cheese frosting. I would love a recipe book with different varieties. I hope I win!!
I’ve never made them, but had them often as a childhood treat made by my mother. I can’t wait to try the peanut butter filling!
I love whoopie pies!! But have never made them – I would love to try though! :)
Oh yes! I have devoured whoopie pies! I have never made them – these look awesome!
Never made them, never tried them, but I want to!
I’ve never actually ever seen these anywhere other than books! Can’t wait to try them.
I’ve heard of them but never had a recipe or tried to make them.
I’ve never made these, or even had one! Blasphemous, I know. But send me your book and I’ll let you know how it goes ;)
BTW: I love how you write cookbooks. You’re absolutely amazing, you know that?
Wei-Wei
Whoopie!!! Never had them, but would love to try!
I have never made whoopies pies before, but I am looking forward to do so at some point. They look yummy.
I’ve always wanted to try and make them! They look sooo yummy!
I used to eat whoopie pies all the time, before I started to feel guilty about it. I have even seen the motherload – a full cake of a whoopie pie. Tell me that isn’t evil.
i’ve made them and i LOVE them. i don’t even think my cookies and frosting made it together, i just started dipping. yum!
I have never tried making them but my husband absolutely loves them. He loves to take them camping and hunting so this would be great to make for him for one of his next hunting trips.
I have made them, and tasted several kinds. They are delicious, but don’t have too many or you will start to look like one of them.
I’ve heard of them but never tried them. I didn’t know there were flavors besides chocolate with vanilla filling. Saw a food network show with them on there one time.
My son in law is from up-state NY (we are from south Jersey) and he loves these. I have made them for him but this recipe with the peanut butter filling sound so great! They’ll be down in August and I will surprise him with some :)
Never heard of them, but can’t wait to make them!
I’ve made sandwich cookies before but not whoopies. I’d love the book and would love to try making them!!!
I love whoopie pies! The best one I’ve had was pumpkin whoopie pies filled with cream cheese frosting. delish!
I’ve heard of whoppie pies, but haven’t tried making them. The book would certainly be motivation!
I’ve heard of them, and they are so tasty, but I’ve never made them. Would love to though!
Never made them, but the book is adorable. Go Amy! :)
I’ve heard of them but have never tried them before. Just looking at your pictures is making me hungry to try them.
Yep – I come from a Southern family, so I know from whoopie! Love them, but I’ve never made them. I’m sitting here fantasizing about a red velvet whoopie pie right now…
Nope never made them, but fully intend to attempt them! I have heard of them before but never called them whoopie pies, we call them “fill in the blank” cream pies. (i.e. oatmeal cream, chocolate chip cookie cream pies, chocolate cream pies, etc)
I have never made them, but I just tried my first on a visit to Boston. We got them from Modern’s Bakery in the north end. DELICIOUS!
I’ve never made them, but it’s SO tempting! Love whoopie pies!!
I have never made these, but have eaten quite a few in my day. They look amazing. I have all the ingredients and I guess I know what I will be doing today! You are awful for my waistline, but I look forward to every Monday to see what you have come up with next! Thanks for the sweet inspirations.
Never heard of them, but I’d love to sink my teeth into them! yum!
I never win give it to me!
Never made them, but here in Kansas the bakery at our local grocery store sells them. My hubby is a BIG fan! Would love to give them a try at home.
I remember my mom making them for me and my siblings when we were growing up. I’ve never made them myself, but I know my hubby and 2 little kids would love them!
i’ve always known them as gobs, and adorreeee them. i’ve made them with cake-mix recipes, but would love to be able to make them from scratch!
Who knew there were so many types?! ? Looks yummy & I can’t wait to try it! Thank you!
I made whoppie pies this past valentine’s day as a gift to some loved ones. Red velvet cookies (which i got from your website!) with a marshmellow cream filling (instead of the cream cheese filling you had posted). They were so good!
I’d love to make some more combinations!
I love making whoopie pies! My mom and I make them together, last time we tried lemon pies with raspberry filling. This book looks amazing!
Whoopie! a great sounding recipe. It has been ages since I made whoopie. And whoopie pies (haha)! I have peanut butter and chocolate and will just have to make this recipe this afternoon. Thanks for posting. JDs
I’ve never made them but I’ve always wanted to! This book is SO cool! thanks for this contest! :)
I’ve only heard of them on the internet. I haven’t seen them in real life or ever eaten one. This book looks adorable though!
I’ve eaten them before but I didn’t know what they were called until now! Thanks.
I grew up with them in New England but the best place to get them is at the Saturday farmers’ market in Madison, WI.
heard of them, have eaten them, really want to make them!!
Haven’t had a whoopie pie in years. My husband loves them and loves PB so I need to try these!
These look amazing!
I’ve never made whoopie pies, but I’ve got three teenagers who would be all over those if I did make them!
Never tried making them, but the salted caramel filling sounds SO good!!!!
I made them once, but they were weight watcher kind. Probably not as good as these!!
Never seen ’em or heard of ’em, but I will definetly be making some in the very near future!
I have never made them. I have heard of them and have been planning on it. They look soooo yummy! *drool*
I’ve seen them before, but never had them! I didn’t know they had different fillings! Sounds fun!
I have never taste whoopie pies and I would like to have the book to try it!
Love them, they look delicious, endless cpmbinations, hope to make mango flavor!
I love them. I was thinking about making some of these for a bridal shower soon. I was just going to make regular ones … I didn’t know there were so many cool flavor ideas for these! The book looks amazing!
I was just introduced to these last year and wow…what have I been missing out on all of these years? Yummy!
I have never made them, but love eating them!
The best ones I’ve ever had, were made by a friend.. all organic and delicious!
I have never made whoopie pies but I sure will now. I have eaten them my whole life and loved, loved, loved them! Thanks for sharing with us!!!
Thanks for sharing. Never made um before and love the name. I’d like to have the recipe book so that I could do a little experimental baking for my new boyfriend and his daughters.
I *LOVE* whoopie pies – the Amish make them at our local farmer’s market and I never knew how easy it was to make these fantastically delicious goodies! YUMMY! Would LOVE to get this book!
I’ve made whoopie pies once, but the recipe wasn’t as good as I’d hoped. I’d love to have a book with some different recipes to try!
OOOHHHH! Who doesn’t love a little whoopie? LOL! I love these things and so do my kids! I noticed the ‘Smore’ ones in the picture. I would love to try those. I also like Red Velvet and Triple Chocolate (Choc cake, fudgey choc filling, rolled in mini choc chips)!!! :P Yum!
I haven’t ever made whoopie pies, but I have eaten them before. Aunt Mil used to make them for the local kids when I was growing up. She wasn’t really anyone’s aunt, but as long as we called her Mil instead of Mildred there was a steady stream of cookies and hugs to be had.
I made strawberry whoopie pies with strawberry buttercream filing last year and they turned out…. alright…. they were a bit flat and wet and the filling was a bit rich.. but everyone ate them!
I’ve made pumpkin and of course chocolate. Can’t wait to try them all when I win this book!
I’ve never made them but they look yummy and oh so fun! I’ve seen something similar before but never knew what they were called.
I’ve never made them, but my aunt makes the best pumpkin whoopies with maple filling. They’re to die for!!
I have never made whoopie pies, but have eaten a lot of them. I think it is time that I try my hand at making some of these.
I’ve had my share of them, but have never made them. Cute cookbook idea!
Ohhhh!!! These look amazing :)
I’ve already copied the recipe to try when I get home.
Love the name too – Woopies :)
They remind me of something we have at home in Trinidad, but is filled with ice cream :) Mmmmmm…. Its a cookie/cake thing that’s to die for!!!
GO WOOPIES!!!
I’m so excited to try these! I have a friend who had made some and then put them in her glass covered cake stand in her kitchen. I loved the look of having that cute treat on display so I wanted to steal the idea for when I have company next week. Unfortunately my friend said W.Pies tasted awful so I have been on the search for a new recipe. Thanks for sharing!
This born and raised Mainer (who is now living in GA) grew up on Whoopie Pies! We even have family recipes and variations. :) Somehow though I can’t get my Midwesterner husband to love them. I think I will hunt down this book and try some of these recipes out on him. ;)
First saw them on Paula Deen…I’ve wanted to make them ever since. The only time we ever came close to making them is when my mom and I tried making homemade Oreos…yummm!
I have never made them- but I have always wanted to..
They look and sound so good! Will make some today!! I am going to run out of money buying all these neat books!!!!
I’ve never heard of them, but they look SO good! I can’t wait to make them.
Never heard of them, but the sound delish!
Those look like so much fun to make. I would love to try them!
Love Whoopie pies. I have not made them myself yet, but have a Gluten-free recipe I was going try.
I haven’t tried very many different kinds, possibly just chocolate, but it also seems like I had banana ones once. I need to be schooled in making Whoopies much more than I am. I need a cookbook! ;)
I have never made nor eaten a whoopie pie but I have seen them in Martha Stewart magazines. They look very yummy though!
I’ve never made of them, but definitely heard of them. They look like fun!
As a Pennsylvania girl who has access to an Amish bakery, I have OF COURSE heard of whoopie pies! They are my favorite indulgence when I am at the Farmers’ Market! I have also had them up in Maine, where they are also popular. My favorite kind are the traditional chocolate ones with the fluffy white filling. However, I also enjoy a good oatmeal cookie one, again with the white filling.
I have heard that there are recipes for savory whoopie pies as well, which are fascinating to me. I might have to try something like that out!
One of my friends made them, but I’ve never tried them. I would love to though!
I grew up with these-they are so good! Here in New England they are pretty well-heard of I think.
The best ones I’ve ever had were at the “Big E” AKA- The Eastern States Exposition, which is a huge (HUGE) fair for all the New England States. There was a company dedicated to nothing but Whoopie Pies in a gazillion flavors. Soooo good!
My great grandmother always made whoopie pies for us and would send them home with us. Love them!
There is a great place in PA (dillsburg, maybe) that sells them. It is a little Amish place and they have different kinds. Yum!
I’ve always seen lots of good recipes to try them, but never made them. I would love the cookbook!
These sound so tummy. I need to make these tonight.
Never made them, but my sister in law loves them, and I’d love to give it a try.
I have definitely heard of them and tried them but I have never made them myself! Thanks Bakerella!
I’ve never made them, but have always wanted to try! And this book makes it look SO fun!
I’ve never made them before, but I’d love to! I bet they’re better if they’re home made. I’ve eaten them, and of course, heard of them, and LOVE them. I’d like to have this book…seems like something fun and maybe a little different for kids’ class parties.
Every time I get the email that your blog has arrived…should I open it or not…because every time, you have made something that I am assuming I will never be able to live without…and I am usually right…Carry on…they look wonderful, and I will be looking for this book too…
My mom made these when i was a kid… I loved them! I haven’t had one in over 20 years! I have talked about them and described them to my daughters, would love to make them a batch… I hope that they are as good as I remember! Would love to win the book!
Very Popular here in PA. One of DH’s favorites.
Oh my goodness, I have seen this book, and as soon as I saw it I have had the desire to make whoopie pies! I haven’t yet, but I know I will veryyy soon!
It must be fate, because I just heard of whoopie pies the first time a couple of days ago! This book looks like a great way to do research on them. Tasty, tasty research!
I have never made them or had them but I love to bake just about anything! I would love the cookbook! Thanks as usual for your great inspiration.
I lived in Pennsylvania Dutch country for awhile, so I’ve tasted some great whoopie pies. My dad just adores them, so I’d love to have some good recipes for him.
I have never made them, but I sure have eaten them! They are really big in Maine, where my sister lives!! :-)
I’ve never made whoopies before, but they look delicious!
Those look delicious! I would love to try making some myself! :0)
I’ve never made them. I might give it a go for an upcoming birthday party. Yum!
My mom used to make these when I was a little girl, we always loved them. This book looks great!
i have never made them or heard of them, but they sure look delicious!
I haven’t heard of them, but it sounds like something I need to make! I have a lot of little ones who would love to get their fingers on them I’m sure!
I’ve never made them, but I know you can buy them at the grocery stores near me (VA)… maybe it’s a southern thing? in any case, that book looks fantastic!
We live in the land of whoopie pies Lancaster/Lebanon County PA. I have never tried to make them because they are so good from our favorite bakery, Achenbach’s Pastries in Leola. My husband grew up in Lancaster and has eaten them all of his life. Today is his 46th birthday and I am going there to get him some. It sure would be nice to make him some, (hint, hint). Even if I don’t win, I’ll make him some anyway. What do they say…If at first you don’t succeed try, try again!
I have seen the mixes and kits everywhere from Williams-Sonoma to Stonewall Kitchen, but I have neber made them!! Would love to try!!
Oooh! I love whoopie pies… first became enamored of them in Syracuse NY (grad school) I think, but have never attempted to make them myself. I’d love to get this book and try it out!
I”ve made red velvet with creamy white filling for Valentine’s Day.
I might be comment 1200. That should be lucky, right?
I’ve heard of them, but we dont’ have them here…
I live in the South, so I grew up with whoopie pies, but I’ve never made them. I’m intrigued by the idea of making whoopie, though….LOL
Thanks for the chance to win a copy of the book, and for sharing this recipe/review. :)
I have never tried a whoopie pie..but, they sorta remind me of Little Debbie’s Fudge Rounds. Might try that recipe today with the kids..looks yummy!
