Peppermint Whoopie Pies

Christmas is almost here! Serving a special dessert for a Holiday Party can sometimes be difficult with everything else there is to do. I love desserts that look amazing…look like you spent hours on them…but are really easy. These Peppermint Whoopie Pies have amazing flavor but are super easy to put together!

The Whoopie Pie flavor combinations are endless! With all the different flavors of cake mixes and frostings, you can let your imagination run wild!

For the holidays, we love these Easy Whoopie Pies with red and green Funfetti sprinkles, Raspberry and Chocolate are a delicious combination, and we can’t forget the iconic Pumpkin Whoopie Pies!

What is a Whoopie Pie?

We love them! We eat them! But have you ever wondered where the name “Whoopie Pie” came from?

These two soft cookies made into a sandwich originally started with Amish bakers. Many Amish recipes come from generations that have passed down the recipes, so no one really knows. But it’s been told that when the Amish children would find these treats in their lunch bags, they would shout “Whoopie!”

In the early 1920’s the Whoopie Pies were sold at bakeries. And they have now evolved into many, many flavor combinations, although Marshmallow Fluff is the most popular for filling.

How to make Peppermint Whoopie Pies

• Whoopie Pies made with White Cake Mix
• Peppermint Frosting
• Decorator bag or resealable bag
• Giant Round Tip
• Crushed Candy Canes or sprinkles

Putting these little cuties together is a snap! After the Vanilla Whoopie Pies bake and are cooled, a simple dollop of Peppermint Frosting, a sprinkle of crushed candy canes and you have an amazing dessert in under 30 minutes!
