I LOVE whoopie pies. Let me say that again...I LOVE whoopie pies. A dear friend and her mom introduced my family to the beauty that is the whoopie pie when I was a kid. That having been said, this is not that original recipe that I love. This is a lighter, quicker version of the true thing. Steph, if you're reading this...don't worry, I know where my heart lies...in a pinch though, this lighter version comes through. And, I promise to share the original recipe when I can hide the damage behind bulky clothing!
