Whoopie Pies, Delicious!
Just what I needed. More things to eat. In this season of gastrointestinal distress through a family member I discovered these great Whoopie Pies from Trader Joe’s. Not only that but the apparently there is no soy in the recipe so I can eat them! Oh woe is me. I swiped one from said family member and thoroughly enjoyed it! I don’t think I’ve ever had a Whoopie pie before. There was some sad moon pie thing I ate as a child but that was store bought and preservative full.
A cakey, chocolatey, filled with cream bite of delightfulness these things have a big Maine history and is of those baking issues where each Maine grandma has her own secret recipe.
So next on the quest was to find a recipe that sounded good and didn’t use cake mix.
1. Taste of Home of course was my first stop. But I didn’t try their recipes.
2. About Southern Food had a great recipe and this is the one I ended up making.
3. You know Martha Stewart has a recipe. Her recipes tend to be very involved so I skipped on this.
4. And just in case you’re not into baking you can buy Whoopie Pies in various flavors online here, here, here, and here.
For the filling I really made do. I didn’t have marshmallow creme but I had half a bag of marshmallows. I melted those and mixed them with some buttercream frosting and used that. I had this feeling it was going to be too sweet so I filled half of them with ice cream. My husband prefers that addition.
