Today’s baking recipe is the perfect St.Patricks Day treat. Typically not many Irish people know about Whoopie Pies, I definitely think they are more of an American Dessert but basically they are two pieces of fluffy and moist chocolate cake with yummy frosting in the middle. They are the type of dessert that eating just one is simply not enough, if you’re anything like me you will probably eat 3 in a sitting! I made some a few weeks ago to bring to a movie night with the girls and they went down a treat! Some green food coloring for the frosting makes them perfectly Irish for the weekend that’s in it!
