Homemade Whoopie Pies
Whoopie pies are a great summer treat for they are fattening, chocolately and absolutely delicious. They are convenient and readily available at many commercially known supermarkets, or you can find homemade ones at local mom and pop stores. Or, you could try making your own!
Chocolate cake is the go-to cake for birthday celebrations throughout the year and although it's fabulously delicious each time, it has become a bit repetitive. Try making homemade whoopie pies for they are quick to bake and assemble and you'll be snacking on these decadent delights wherever you are. Pack them in your cooler for a day at the beach and add some birthday candles for a unique birthday treat. Enjoy!
