“Whoopsie” Pies

This Halloween, the SacFoodies hosted a frighteningly delicious potluck. The witches and wizards broke out their cauldrons and brewed up some tasty treats – not tricks – for this special and spooky occasion. Unsure of what to make, I decided to find a classic recipe and add a spine-chilling spin.

For the potluck I whipped up some devilishly yummy “Whoopsie” Pies based on a recipe adapted from Delish. I followed this recipe exactly, however, I added in food coloring to give this recipe for Whoopie Pies a “whoopsie” and spooktacular appearance. These pillowy cookies surrounding a delicious, fluffy filling were so good that one was not enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. 

Dare to try these at home? Here is the recipe for Whoopie Pies from Delish, with additions for Halloween flair.
