I know this blog is about smoothies but in honor of all things sweet....Whoopies!
I love chocolate whoopies, pumpkin whoopies, and after tonight... chocolate chip whoopies!
The State of Maine is all up in arms about what should or should not be the official dessert of the state. Some people want the amazing whoopie pie and some want the everyday, can buy at every convenience store, is only great with ice cream.... blueberry pie. Now that I am a "Mainiac" I am very dedicated to this cause. My love for the whoopie pie is so strong that I may have to move to Pennsylvania (the other state trying to get the whoopie pie as their official dessert). Now the pie-lovers argue that a dessert with lard should not be Maine's official dessert. To that I say... ha! Lard never tasted so good :-P
I was going to make Team Whoopie shirts but decided to just make some delicious whoopie pies instead.
ok, those look awesome. please post recipe?? Love pumpkin whoopies but have never heard of Chocolate Chip Whoopie Pies....need something to bake for next week's school vacation.
