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!
