Chocolate Coconut Cream Whoopie Pie

Monday, June 4, 2012
If you love vintage cookies, these whoopie pies will bring you back to simple times but the recipe is made easier starting with a cake mix and the filling is so easy for a quick nostalgic blast from the past.

These chocolate cookies are filled with coconut marshmallow cream inside, and of course adaptable to a chocolate cream non coconut filling just by omitting the coconut.

During the last few years, we've even used other cake mix flavors and adapted our whoopie pies using spice cake, white cake, and lemon whoopie pies, so this recipe is very versatile.

Try adding different extracts to the filling to coordinate the kind of cake mix you're using when making the cake mix whoopie pies

  4. For some reason, I thought that you could not use a cake mix for whoopie pies! Well it looks like you squashed that myth and did it in a delicious way. I am game for anything that has these two flavors in it and these are a handy way to enjoy them-grab and go-yum!
