Whoopie Pies are the new cupcake! Have you heard? There has been a whoopie pie craze going on for some time now. At first I thought it was random, seeing a whoopie pie recipe here and there, but it’s apparent I was wrong and whoopie pies are making a come back. HUGE!
I’ll be honest, this isn’t my sort of thing. For one, this recipe uses marshmallow fluff (gah!). I don’t know how you can make a whoopie pie without it- but I will be on the lookout for that recipe.
The other reason is, other than the standard loaf, cookies, or cake, I suck when it comes to getting creative in the baking department. These turned out pretty good in spite of myself. I think I’d invest in a whoopie pie baking pan- if there is such a thing.
