As the legend goes, Whoopie Pies started on the East Coast by the Amish. The ladies would make these super cute "pies" with left over cake mix for the farmers and when they would reach into their lunch boxes and pull these treats from heaven...they would scream..."Whoopie!"
We have searched high and low for the best Whoopie Pies around and we found out the best are the ones you make at home!
And PS...they are really easy and super fun to eat!
