I shared a picture of these easy Whoopie Pies on Instagram a few weeks ago and I thought I had better share the recipe with you! I love Whoopie Pies and these could not be easier because I took quite a few short cuts!

Did you noticed I said these were EASY? First off I uses a brownie mix and premade frosting that even came in it’s own piping bag with a star tip! Now how is that for taking short cuts? Well kind of. It actually took me three tries to get the “cookie” part to work right! I hate having to remake a recipe and the first two were so bad I had to throw them away. I hate wasting food! Really I do.

I made these around the 4th of July so I used the red, white and blue sprinkles but you can actually use what ever colors you want or even leave them off! I think chopped nuts or even mini chocolate chips instead of sprinkles would be awesome! I might just have to try that! Chopped almonds, yes that is what I would do next.

#AD: Summer can be CRAZY busy but baking in the kitchen with your kiddos doesn’t have to be! Pillsbury® makes baking a breeze. These Whoopie Pies can be whipped up quickly with Pillsbury Chocolate Fudge Brownie mix and NEW @pillsburybaking Chocolate Fudge Pastry Bags! I love them. Not to mention cleanup is a so easy. You can find both at your local @Walmart. You can also find them online here: bit.ly/2xfjsD0 and bit.ly/2KSJMER. My son loved these so much he ate 3. They are so good! I can’t wait to try the other Pillsbury Pastry Bag flavors.

I mentioned on Instagram that these were so good my son ate 3 of these! That still left quite a few to eat so I took them up to scout camp to share with Mr. Pinkcakeplate’s Trading Post Staff. I didn’t tell you he was up in Flagstaff for 6 weeks, yup I was home with son and dogs. It was kinda nice not having to worry about anyone but myself. I dont think I cooked dinner very much during those weeks. LOL. He is home now so I kinda have to cook dinner.
