Chocolate Whoopie Pies

Now there is some debate about whether Whoopie pies originated in Amish country or in New England (Maine, specifically), but what everyone can agree on is that these pies taste amazing and make everyone (want to) yell, “Whoopie”! These desserts are so fun because it’s like eating a little, decadent sandwich, and everyone gets their own. They’re perfect for lunches, picnics or snacks, so the recipient gets a delicious surprise. Big kids feel grown up with their big-kid desserts, grown ups feel like kids again, this sweet delivers the best of both worlds!
