Chocolate Peanut Butter Buttercream Whoopie Pies

If you love soft chocolate cake, peanut butter buttercream filling and happiness then you are going to super love these Chocolate Peanut Butter Buttercream Whoopie Pies.    When you take your first bite you are going to yell out “Whoopie!” and do a little dance. 

What does the “Whoopie?” dance look like?  It varies from person to person but just shake it, add a smile and keep shaking it.

I’ve already talked about my love for Whoopie Pies from Amish Country that bring back so many yummy memories.  Last month I baked some Pumpkin Whoopie Pies that were a hit so I decided I’m going to spend some creating more Whoopie Pies recipes for you!

 I have Holiday ideas for them, I have spicy ideas for them, I have rainbow ideas for them – you just wait.  Until then, let’s get personal with these Chocolate and Peanut Butter beauties.
