I made no changes to the recipe itself. I baked some in my mini muffin top pans, and then some in heart shaped. They went very, very fast, so much so that I had to hide one in order to take pictures! Thank you to Jill P for sharing her recipe.

Chocolate Dream Whoopie Pies
Ingredients
- 1 packages chocolate cake mix (regular size)
- 3 large eggs

- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350º.
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil and vanilla; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes (mixture will be sticky).
