Whoopie pies are a New England staple. You can find them in a variety of different flavors, textures and fillings. Some like the cakey kind, some like the kind that are more cookie-like, but we like them all!
This post is sponsored in conjunction with Back to School Treats Week. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #BacktoSchoolTreats Week recipes. All opinions are mine alone.
I always start with my Gram's base recipe, which uses a cake mix, eggs, some oil (I used canola), and vanilla. I am completely in love with Taylor & Colledge's Vanilla Bean Paste. It's made with 100% real vanilla beans, and has such an awesome smell and flavor. I chose a yellow cake mix this time around.
I amped up the fun level by adding cute Sweets & Treats sprinkles to the dough. They have so many amazing colors and shapes that I had a hard time choosing, but in the end I went with the ABC123 mix. I used a cookie scoop to get nice uniform rounds.
You can use store bought frosting or make your own, totally up to you. This time around I used pre-made white frosting, and after I sandwiched everything together, I rolled them through the sprinkles. You can never have enough sprinkles!
