Old Fashioned Whoopie Pie Recipe.
These delicious whoopie pies were a tradition from my childhood. My Nana would make them every time we would come to visit them in B.C. which was about once or maybe twice a year.
The best part was she would keep them in the freezer and in my humble opinion the very best way to say a whoopee pie is frozen! We stuffed ourselves with whoopie pies every visit and they are still one of my favourite desserts to this day.
