Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard Whoopie Pies

These chocolate Whoopie Pies are filled with the most delicious Peanut Butter Cup Frosting!  It’s a simple filling made with crushed peanut butter cups!

Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard Whoopie Pies

These are innocent looking whoopie pies…

simple enough…

normal enough…

But they are a little like me.  You gotta bite them to unleash the insanity.

Wait, that was weird.

Not what I meant.

Ummmm…

Anywayyyyy…

What I mean is they look normal and sweet.  Then you check out their guts, and it’s ON.

And by guts I mean frosting.

Because doesn’t everyone mean frosting when they talk about guts?

I am so sorry right now.

Anyhow.  Blend up some peanut butter cups, add it into a sweet butter frosting and you have the most amazing whoopie pie filling everrrrr.

The idea for these is like my M&M Cupcakes (you need to make those to, by the way).

Anyway, I’m calling these “blizzard” whoopie pies, because you can mix in your favorite candy in place of the peanut butter cups, if you want to change it up.

The trick is pulverizing the candy, because mixing it like that in the frosting flavors it just like the candy, as opposed to frosting with chunks of candy…which is also good, but chunks are NO BUENO when trying to pipe frosting.

Clog city.

So anyway, before I use another word like CLOG in my FOOD post let’s talk about these…

Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard Whoopie Pies

  1. i used to frost my Whoopie pies by applying it with an offset icing spatula. The cookies would get all messy. But I hated to have to get a pastry bag all set just to do a batch of cookies. Brainstorm one night while doing 100 Whoopie pies for a party…I use a small cookie scoop and plop it right in the middle of the cookie and then set the top on and just press lightly. Nice and perfect looking whoopsies!
