I am surprised at how few people know of these in Seattle. It must be an East Coast thing. As for me, I can't remember my first whoopie pie. I hear stories of my older sister enraptured with them at the age of two. For those of you who have yet to experience the joy that is the whoopie pie, you can think of it like a homemade Oreo cookie. Maybe it more closely resembles a cupcake in sandwich form. Anyway that you want to think of them is fine. Just know that they are divine.
