I have to confess to a new obsession. OK, maybe not a new obsession, but a growing obsession of which I am feeling especially ardent. I just don't know why I haven't been able to get it off my mind. I've been planning this surprise for a while now... I considered waiting for Valentine's Day, but I just don't want to wait! Some people have suggested some great ideas for spicing things up a bit... Some of those suggestions may prove interesting, but I don't know how adventurous I'm feeling just yet. I think I'll stick to the standard, maybe not as exciting, but always reliable, right? Yep, I've been daydreaming about makin' whoopie (pies) for about a week now.
What did you think I was talking about?!
So, with today being a holiday from school... And with the kids all stuck indoors due to the snowy/foggy weather, I decided today was the day!
I'm always hesitant to try a new recipe. Especially since moving to our current elevation. It's just a fact that some baked goods don't turn out well up here. And I loved the idea of pumpkin spice whoopie pies, but I decided to start with the basics. So, that's just what I did.
I'm not sure I'm gonna call my whoopie pies a rousing success, but they were pretty good. Not pretty, mind you... But they tasted good...

That looks like a giant moon pie!
HPH--I guess a Whoopie Pie is similar to a Moon Pie because the filling for both is based on marshmallow fluff.
The Whoopie Pie has chocolate, cake-like cookies filled with a frosting that includes the fluff.
Moon Pies are graham cracker cookies filled with fluff and dipped in chocolate. A little different, but also very good!

The post certainly deserves a response, but I have no idea when it will come to me....
Travel by Turtle, you make me laugh. Come back to the Frozen Land and I'll share a Whoopie Pie with you!
