I do love maple… maybe this will be good?
Guess who just got the best birthday gift ever? This guy.
It's more than possible you've never even heard of a whoopie pie. You don't seem them often in Florida. Publix carries them from time to time. But not often. I usually see them on sale for a week and then on clearance the week after. They're just a big deal here.
Whoopie Pies are pretty much a northeast thing. Growing up in Maine, it was a staple of this fat kid's diet. Mom would make them and I'd gobble a couple up before they even cooled. They're not really all that complex. The traditional whoopie pie is a two oversized cookie-shaped chocolate cakes with a white frosting in the middle. But man, there's a new variation that I'm a HUGE fan of after trying it for the first time tonight.
Special Delivery
When I got home and saw the rectangle shaped box and Freeport, Maine on the return address, my mouth started watering. I knew exactly what was inside.
The Traditional Flavor
2 chocolate cakes, a vanilla'ish white frosting in the middle. That's your basic Whoopie Pie.
Flavors
But as time has gone on, flavors like Red Velvet or Peanut Butter have sprouted up. I'm mostly a traditionalist. But I'm a big peanut butter/chocolate guy so I do enjoy those.
If you love Reese's Cups...
You'll like these. My friend Amy knows my tastes better than I do. She mixed traditional, these peanut butter ones... and one other. But the 3rd one I was a little hesitant to try.
A Maple Whoopie Pie?
I'm intrigued. I'm going to have one of these first.
Get yourself some!
I didn't know you could freeze these. I don't know if they'll last long enough to freeze in this house.
Lots of famous fans.
Can't think of anyone who doesn't like a Whoopie Pie.
Let's try it.

Maple Is IT!
Wow ... forget it. I'm no longer a traditionalist. After this first bite, my allegiance is 100% now with Maple Whoopie Pies.
Freezing a few...
Whoopie Pies or broccoli? Bet I know which will get eaten first.
