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?

1. Again– you’re photos are so lovely! Sometimes I can’t stop looking.
2. I’m also super impressed with the genius of this dessert.
3. I may not ever leave a comment inviting you to graze my boob, but yours is one of the few blogs that I actually do read instead of simply doing the “drool and pin.”
Love,
Ashton
*also I can spell “your.” Not sure what happened there.
hahhahaaa, well I won’t hold it against you 😉
I’m glad I’m not the only one who fears the ocean. Don’t get me wrong, I love being near it and listening to the waves…but going inside where all the THINGS are that brush up against your leg as soon as you’re not paying attention? No way.
These pies are so adorable, I’ve been loving your s’mores week!!
I enjoy what you write at least as much as the dessert, if not more. Although please don’t graze my boob….And I agree about the ocean.
That cracked me up because it’s definitely the things I’m thinking without saying. I laughed my ass off at the fear of grazing the pedicurists’ boobs on your previous post by the way. I thought about it and it made me smile for hours afterwards. Just so you know 🙂
I love your schmearing technique, very nice. I’m glad I made a new Pinterest board yesterday exclusively for whoopie pies, these gorgeous girls will fit right in.
Ooh… that drives me crazy. There’s this one person who is obviously subscribed to hundreds of blogs and leaves comments on basically every new post. Very standard comments.
– You were in the hospital for a week and almost died? “Those look yummy! I have to make these!”
– Your puppy was run over last night? “Wow! I can’t wait to make these!”
– You found out you have cancer? “Great recipe! Will try later!”
I wonder if she has a file and just copies and pastes these things.
Ehem. Anyway, I don’t like smores or whoopie pies but I do love that first picture! And the cupcakes from the other day. I love the darkness in them. 🙂
oh yes, I know her well!
I’m probably old enough to be your mama and am out of your demographic, but I discovered you a couple of months ago and am enjoying your bog. I read your entire posts!! For real!! Example, I don’t care for S’mores because I don’t like marshmallows (kinda makes me gag with all that white fluffiness), but I read your entire post anyway. Soooo….don’t cry darlin”. You have fans who read everything.
you don’t like marshmallows? oh my. We might need to break up.
