  1. I made these for people at work, and they LOVED them. This was my first whoopie pie attempt, and it was much easier than I expected. Mine were a little bigger, and I yielded about 14 total pies.
     
  2. I didn't make the cake part just the filling & it was GREAT! I will use this filling again.
