S’mores Whoopie Pies are 2 favorite sweet treats in one! It’s a graham soft cookie, filled with Marshmallow Buttercream and topped with melted chocolate. You will LOVE these!
I am a huge fan of turning pretty much every dessert into a S’mores version. I feel like I was born to do that actually, because my birthday is August 10th…
What does that mean?
Well, August 10th is NATIONAL S’MORES DAY!
So yeah. I’ve made S’mores Brownies, S’mores Cheesecake, S’mores in a Jar, S’mores Strawberries, Chocolate Chip Cookie Peanut Butter S’mores Bars…I could keep going and going…OR you could check out my S’mores Recipe Round Up.
Here’s what you do…
Crush some graham crackers up into a fine dust. You can use a rolling pin to smash them, or a blender or food processor.
You’ll need a cup and a half, which is about 9 full crackers smushed.
Mix up your batter.
It will look like this…
Drop the batter by the tablespoon onto a lined baking sheet.
They will look like this when they are all baked up…
Next you have to make them happen. Flip half of them over…
Then melt up your milk chocolate bars and give one side of your sandwich a schmear.
Don’t neglect the other side. Cover him with some marshmallow buttercream.
That’s it! Squish those two lovebirds together and you’ll get this…
Isn’t she gorgeous?

Notes
adapted from Whoopie Pies
I don’t like smores because the chocolate does not melt. It just doesn’t seem right to me. I would LOVE these whoopie pies because the chocolate is smooth and all melty.
Hi
Tried making these… The whoopie pies ended up coming out more like a pancake. They spread out. I used 1 stick of butter as the recipe called for. I’m wondering if that is too much.
Just threw my second batch in after adding more flour and crushed graham crackers. Followed the recipe to the letter. just double checked all my ingredients.
has anyone else had success? I’m a pretty decent baker.
Hi, Yes, they do spread quite a bit. What kind of baking sheet did you use? I found when I was testing the recipe that an “insulated” or “air bake” sheet spread a lot more than a standard one…
I made these last night. the recipe worked wonderfuly for me. I actually made a triple batch. I used margerine instead of butter, because it is cheaper. I also used a baking stone, i am not sure if that had anything to do with how the whoopie pies came out.
You are so funny!!!
That would be so amazing to power up the house with your fingers!! I would kidnapp you for sure, so I don’t have to pay electricity bills anymore!!! (and you could bakemr smores whoopieseveryday of mu life!!!) you would be the perfect friend!! (you still could be without the eel thing ’cause, who wants to hate the girl with all the sweets!! 🙂
Thanks for everything, and I DO read your posts and laught my heart out! (can we say that?) haha!
You are TOO funny! To be sadly honest, the biggest reason I read your blog is BECAUSE of your stories! I especially loved the exercise stories. I so relate to you… I like your recipes and use many of them but I LOVE the laugh attack from reading your posts even more, nothing like starting my day off with a good belly laugh …keep up the good work.
Not a skimmer!

You got boob grazed by an eel?
Sorry, I was in a hurry and didn’t read everything.
Seriously, love your recipes AND your writing.
Some blogs I read for the recipes and some I just love to read (recipes = added bonus).
As soon as I saw these I knew I would make them. Our fam loves making smores at the firepit in the backyard. I just made them and snarfed a few down. I must say they are amazing and taste just likes Smores!
Okay so the first batch came out of the oven and were thinner than I wanted them to be….solved that by crushing up another package of graham crackers and mixed into remainder of batter. Perfection!! 🙂
Totally in love with this recipe and my husband just got home with the ingredients so wish me luck! I typically don’t comment at all, but thought the story was funny. If a picture catches my eye, I do usually read the entire post because I figure I might miss something important if I don’t…haha! I really want to make every s’more recipe you’ve posted and linked to, but I think my husband might be upset if I did! 😉
When I was little my sister and my cousins were all older then me (6 to 10 years older) And they all called me a brat. And then I got a little older and knew a little more and didn’t like it. Then they started to call me “The B” And I thought it was a cute nickname. Not quite old enough to realize that it was short for Brat. And then I got yet older and realized what it meant and I really disliked it and them! And then I got yet a bit older and wiser and I realized that there is a little brat in all of us and it isn’t so bad to be a brat. So lesson learned that we all have times when we feel the need to be “bratty”. You my dear sweet blogger are not being bratty in my opinion!! I love your blog!!! I look forward to ever post!! And while I do enjoy your creativity,hard work and the fact that you are kind enough to share your wonderful creations. I especially also look forward to reading ever word that you write!! Creating all these goodies is not your only gift! You have the gift of writing! You make me smile,laugh and give food for thought!! So, please don’t change a thing! And may I say thank you for every word!! And if you ever decide to write a book… let me be the first in line to buy it!!
You have pegged it!
I too tend to be a “lurker” as Alexandra put it so nicely. I always read your posts!! I hang on to every word you post (as well dear Kristan over at Confessions.) Both of you crack me up with your posts it’s unbelievable. Most times I’m getting the weird look from the boyfriend when I’m yelling “that’s totally something I would do!” at the computer screen. I love your blog dearly and thanks for writing such fun and witty posts and the awesome recipes! So sad to see the end of S’mores week =( Cannot wait to try these whoopie pies!
Love, Rashawn
