Let's Make Whoopie....Whoopie Pies That Is....

• SO I know what you're thinking...Whoopie is dirty, right? Well you're wrong! I got the idea to make "whoopie" as a joke, but then decided they looked really tasty. So I searched and searched for the perfect recipe. And finally I came up with one, taking little bits and pieces from multiple recipes. So a little history... for years my dad worked as an independent distributor for Little Debbie Snacks.... therefore, I had my fair share of Oatmeal Creme Pies. I mean, who doesn't love those things! I could eat them for hours on end :) Because of this reason, I decided to go with Oatmeal Whoopie Pies. Uh yeah, YUM. Please enjoy as much as I did!!
