Run for the hills folks, an army of thousands of Martian whoopie pies has just landed and is intent on colonizing Earth. Their marshmallow-filled wrath knows no mercy. OK, fine they're not from outer space, but this closeup shot sure makes the sweet treats look like they're flying through the ether.
They were cooked up by the Barmy Baker, who says that the sandwiches of chocolate cake and marshmallow are a great way to satisfy one's sweet tooth. She also includes a recipe for the treats, which she adapted from Lora Brady's Chocolate American Style. Compared to some of the whoopie pies I've had in Maine, these things look like they're on steroids.

I love me some whoopie pies! And I have to brag a little, I really love the ones that I've made with a marscapone cream filling!

Oh crap, and I just wrote a whole blog post about eating only nutritionally dense food and only when you're really hungry blah blah blah...
But look at those things, they're amazing! Curse you Joe, how am I going to keep my mind on friggin' carrot sticks and chicken breast now!

I much prefer the Pennsylvania Dutch style whoopie pies with a cream filling instead of that marshmallow junk.

That right there is the picture that sold me on making whoopie pies for my friends 4th of July party. However, I used the Gourmet recipe and the cakes came out beeeaaauuutifully. I am still on the fence about the filling; the recipe mentioned here AND the one in gourmet uses a marshmellow filling; I've only had them with cream-like centers. Thoughts anyone?

If you want a real treat, try the classic whoopie pie or any of the other flavors from Wicked Whoopies (wickedwhoopies.com) made by Isamax Snacks in Gardiner Maine! Great New England snack, or anywhere else and they bring back some childhood summertime memories for sure! Never had better than these!
