How can I store this chocolate peanut butter whoopie pie?
Although whoopie pies are best the day they are made, you can still store them. However, they should be stored without the peanut butter filling.
To store, wrap the whoopie pies in plastic wrap for up to 2 months.
Once you are ready to use it, defrost in the paper wrapper and serve.
How do I fill the whoopie pies?
To fill, use a spoon and pipe a generous amount of filling on the flat side of the cakes.
Top with the other half, flat side down, and twist the tops gently. Twist gently to ensure that the pieces are glued together.
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, simply use gluten-free flour. Also, if you are allergic to peanuts, you can replace them with your preferred nuts. However, make sure you do not use a natural-style variety that has the oil on top.
Where did whoopie pie originate?
Whoopie pies are considered to be a classic from the New England states.
Also, Amish women invented whoopie pie according to Pennsylvania history.
They started whoopie pies to avoid wasting ingredients. The women would drop excess cake batter into mounds and bake them. After this, they would take two of the mounds and sandwich them together with a creamy frosting.

Is whoopie pie a cake or a cookie?
A whoopie pie is an inside-out cupcake. It is caky on the outside and frosty in the middle. Also, it looks like a sandwich cookie, although it has a cake consistency.
Moreover, it is easier to eat than a cupcake. This is because the frosting is tucked neatly between the cake layers.
