These classic treats are fluffier than your typical sandwich cookie, with a cake-like texture and a sweet, whipped filling.

I just might be the only person who had never heard of a whoopie pie until a few years ago.

I know!

When I first tried one, I though they would be more like an Oreo cookie, but boy was I wrong.  These are sooooo much better.

These are like little chocolate cakes with a sweet, creamy filling.

Better yet, they are just like devil dogs.

Remember those?

C’mon, who doesn’t remember devil dogs???

Ok, maybe they aren’t as dry as a devil dogs (I used to drink at least two glasses of milk per devil dog) but they are similar.  It’s just these whoopie pies are so much more ridiculously delicious.

These were such a huge hit with the kids too.

This was their first time eating a whoopie pie too, so now there’s no guilt over here for depriving my kids (as if!)

What you don’t see is the picture after he devoured it, chocolate all over his adorable face while he crazily licked every one of his fingers.  Smart kid.

  2. Wow! What a wonderfully healthy take on the whoppie pie! So, don’t laugh, but I’ve had a devil dog but never a whoppie pie – but am all on board for trying one of these! And you snuck some flax in there too! Phenomenal!

  13. I made these today and had to toss them all. The icing will not whip up and the oil separates. Yuck!

  14. Yes Lauren I did beat for a few minutes like you suggested, then kept watching it and it never mixed together. How long did you mix the icing? I noticed the longer it sat while I tried to fill them, the runnier it became.
