Chocolate Whoopie Pies Recipe
If you love soft chocolate cake, peanut butter buttercream filling and happiness then you are going to super love these Chocolate Peanut Butter Buttercream Whoopie Pies. When you take your first bite you are going to yell out “Whoopie!” and do a little dance.
What does the “Whoopie?” dance look like? It varies from person to person but just shake it, add a smile and keep shaking it.
Amish Whoopie Pies
I’ve already talked about my love for Whoopie Pies from Amish Country that bring back so many yummy memories. Last month I baked some Pumpkin Whoopie Pies that were a hit so I decided I’m going to spend some creating more Whoopie Pies recipes for you!
I have Holiday ideas for them, I have spicy ideas for them, I have rainbow ideas for them – you just wait. Until then, let’s get personal with these Chocolate and Peanut Butter beauties.
Do you know when you got a killer yummy recipe? Before it’s even baked you are licking the cake batter bowl thinking about just not making these pies at all and having a bowl of chocolate batter for dinner instead. Of course I didn’t do that though, instead I just had 6 giant spoonfuls of batter which is always a great idea at the moment but never a great idea once it all settles.
Peanut Butter Frosting Recipe
And the Peanut Butter Buttercream! Let’s talk about that. I think it should become a major food group itself because it’s just that good. You know when you take that first spoonful (big spoonful) and your eyes close and everything is just perfect, you ever get that feeling? That’s how I feel about this Peanut Butter, it’s just delicious.
How to Make Whoopie Pies
I used my Whoopie Pie pan again which is pretty much one of the best on sale purchases I made this year. I never thought I needed a Whoopie Pie pan until I got one. Now I can’t imagine life without it. If you don’t have one, I would highly recommend it, it creates perfect shaped pies and nothing ever sticks. I love it.
Then the Peanut Butter Buttercream gets scooped on, one pie at a time.
Until they’re all filled.
Then I smack another pie on top and smile and do the “Whoopie!” dance all over again.
These Whoopie Pies are definitely delicious, I hope you give them a try!

I’ve never made whoopie pies before but you won me at PB and chocolate so these are being added to my list!
I love the spinning whoopie pie! These sound sinful.
These look incredible Pamela! Hehe and I love that whoopie dance – so cute! I would be shaking and smiling with joy too if I had a plate of these in front of me for breakfast 🙂
That PB buttercream looks divine. Chocolate and pb must be one of the all time best combos and these whoopie pies are letting them shine! Hand me a platter and I’ll be dancing right along with you!
I love anything peanut butter and chocolate!
The whoppie dance totally put a smile on my face today – thank you! And I’m convinced one of these would make anyone’s day. (I want to swim in that batter and filling – looks so luscious!)
If you open up that pool, I will show up! 🙂
I love eating the batter but my husband lectures me everytime so I usually only get in a smidge of it…not 6 tablespoons (wow)!
Anything peanut butter and chocolate and I’m sold. 🙂 These look so yummy and the cookies so soft and…yup, I’m drooling. 😉
Gorgeous pics as always. 🙂
Sometimes I get a little wild Tina! 😉
Oh, gosh. I love how thick that peanut butter buttercream looks! Whoopie pies are just always so fun. This reminds me that I need to make whoopie pies more often. 🙂
My kids would LOVE these!

Wow — that is a LOT of peanut butter filling. Which is just how it should be, if you ask me. And I sort of want to do the “Whoopie Pie Spin” right now, here in my office. Is that weird?
No, it’s beautiful – spin girl, spin!
Hahaha, I totally know what you mean about eating allll that batter and frosting seeming like a good idea at the time 😉 I’ve had many a stomach ache from that. I love chocolate peanut butter (obviously) so these sound pretty darn amazing to me. Plus, they’re so cute!

Just love that Dancing Whoopie Pie – it’s doing The Happy Dance!
I haven’t made Whoopie Pies is so long that I’m embarrassed to even tell you ’cause the last time I made them – you were probably a little kid… if you were even born!
You’d think by my age, I’d have all the pans etc. I would ever need. NOT SO… I just purchased my first popover pan and don’t know how I ever lived without it.
I think it’s gonna be like that once I buy a pan for making Whoopie Pies. I didn’t even know pans that like existed. A great post, Pamela. As always. ; o )
I love that even your whoopie pies are dancing!
My whoopie pies have NEVER looked this good! Drooling through my screen now! Thank you for sharing. A delicious end to a long Thursday! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

LOVE the animated photo!! So fun!!
Oh, how I LOVE whoopie pies! Beings back memories of my PA roots and the Lancaster Amish Country. I haven’t been able to get good whoopie pies since leaving PA. I must make these!
I saw a whoopee pie pan the other day at World Market and now I’m kicking myself for not getting it! These whoopee pies look like the best thing ever!
I’m doing the Whoopie Dance right now… just because I feel like it. And because I cannot wait to try your deliciously cute Chocolate PB Buttercream Whoopie Pies! I’ve always wanted to make them but never got around to it. Now I just have to! 🙂

Where can I find whoopee Pie pans ??
Hey Helen, most department stores will have them. I found mine at Marshall’s but I’ve seen them at Target as well. Also, Amazon has them.
Can I use regular cocoa powder?
You can, you just won’t have that super dark chocolate color to the pies. Enjoy. 🙂

Just made these and the whoopie pie is the best I have ever had. The frosting, however, turned out curdled and not smooth. I believe it would have been better if the butter for the frosting was at room temperature and not melted. I will definitely use the recipe for the actual pie again, it was just the right texture and holds up very well.
Hey Julie, so happy to hear you enjoyed these whoopie pies! I hope you give the frosting another chance, I’ve never experienced it curdling! It’s one of my favorite frosting recipes that I use for everything! Thanks for commenting!
Can u make these gluten free I would like to make some chocolate chip ones let me know please thanks
I just made these today and we LOVE them…and how cute we are eating them 😍😀!
And oh my…that frosting!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the delicious recipe! I had never before made whoopie pies and I will be searching other recipes as they are my new fav!
[…] 5| How about a whoopie pie!?! A friend of mine used to make whoopie pies and would package them in individual wrappers. They.were.so.yummy! Well, these are sure to quench the taste buds. You could make the original whoopie pies with white, creamy filling or try these Chocolate Peanut Butter Buttercream Whoopie Pies. […]

I made the Recipe exactly the way it called for. When I made the little Whoopie pie’s I actually cut them all in half and then put the cream in the inside. It made 30 of them. The recipe was good but I would add more brown sugar next time .
I followed the directions, using a quarter cup of the batter but it only made 8 pies 🙁
Hi Debbie, the recipe should make 10-12 whoopie pies so it sounds like your pies might just be a little bigger than mine. Hope you enjoyed this recipe!

hello, i made these last night and they were SO FREAKING GOOD!! THANK YOU for this recipe. I did not make the frosting because I was making it for a crowd (possible food allergies), but the cakes were the PERFECT consistency with my vanilla buttercream frosting. I used a small ice cream scoop to make mini whoopies (i don’t have a whoopie pan) and I want to say I got about 25 complete mini whoopie pies. They turned out perfectly round and thick, not flat. I will save this recipe forever! thank you!
Hey Kacie – I’m so happy you liked the whoopie pies – thanks for commenting and letting me know! Your vanilla buttercream frosting sounds delicious – hope you saved one for me! 🙂
