I used to eat one of these every sunday morning at 10:00!!
Now i'm cutting down. One every 1/2 year to 2 years.

Was so inspired by the whoopie pie hubub I made my own batch last weekend. Chocolate with chocolate chip cream cheese filling. Check the recipe out here:

For the record, Oreo Cakesters are delicious, whoopie pie phoney or not. Tried them last night and ate both in the pack.

I love whoopie pies! I've made chocolate with white filling, chocolate with peanut butter filling, yellow with whie filling, and pumpkin with white filling. But I haven't been able to find a recipe for the chocolate chip whoopie pie.

My favorite filling is the white filling (made with Fluff).

Does anybody know of a recipe for the chocolate chip whoopie pie cakes?

Mmmm... gotta love a good whoopie pie. I haven't had one since leaving my home territory of Lancaster, PA and moving to MD after college. Although since I went to college in MD I did make whoopie pies as a "cultural snack" for my anthropology class. When I mentioned to my friends that my boyfriend and I were going to make whoopie pies that evening they thought I was talking about something else :). Now I'm going to need to take a day trip up to Central Market (which is filled with a lot of other wonderful food, by the way) and get a whoopie pie - or maybe see if I can find my mom's recipe.

From what I've read, gobs have a cooked filling whereas whoopies have the gooey icing. On the phone, the Bird-in-Hand baker mentioned that people always come into the shop asking for gobs, but she never knows what that is. At first I thought it was a shibboleth issue, but maybe they are different. Anyone know?

My family is from Western PA, always called them gobs, not whoopie pies. I managed to get my aunt's recipe a couple of years ago, but mine just aren't as good as hers.

Nrwfos, in Northern VA, not a clue, but the Burtonsville, MD Amish market should have some. Or go down into St. Mary's Co some Saturday, and I know you'll find pumpkin and chocolate chip ones at the farmer's market beside the library.

All the information I ever had was that Whoopie Pies (or the same thing with a different name) was prevalent up in the Northeast - like Vermont. Someone up there does a big "mail order" business with them. Of course saw it on FN on Road Tasted or some such. So...anybody around northern VA have any?

The key to good whoopie is buttermilk and veg shortening. That's right.
I love love love Cental Market. I only go there from Spring to Fall though.
All over Lancaster County one can whoopie with abandon.
Sounds like a Daring bakers challenge. Whoopie day.
Someone poke at Peabody or Tartlette and whisper in their ear. I think would be great.

See! Chocolate Kahlua with mascarpone? This is crazy, yet beautiful. So many non-traditional whoopie pie flavors cropping up.
