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
Your amazing photog skills usually have me shaking my head in wonder before I even start to read!!! Then I move on to shaking from laughter at your stories.
You are electra-girl? I bet your boys love sharing you at Show and Tell. Clap on, clap off Mom!!!!
And oceans, lakes, ponds, streams…all disgusting and I avoid them as much as possible. Usually at the beach I am on the sand tanning! Although last summer I did go snorkeling…I had to really not think about what/who I was swimming with. Shudder!!!!
Think of how eco-friendly finger-powered electricity would be….we need to work on this. For realz.
I can totally tell when people don’t read my posts also. Like when I wrote about a cab driver who insisted on telling me, for the entire cab ride, about his wife who just got murdered by the guy she was living with. And all some people wrote in response was, “Delicious!” Lame.
I need that marshmallow buttercream of yours…not sure how i missed it the first time around.
omg, that’s hilarious. yeah, I was totally scared this post was going to come off as bratty and mean. Didn’t mean it that way, it’s just an observation. I had a post a while back that I did on push up pops, and put no less than 3 links through-out the post where you too could purchase push up pops, and I am sure I got 10 comments asking. That’s the thing that bugs me. And last year I wrote a post on how my mom passed away and while most of the comments were super nice and thoughtful I got a bunch that we are “Cool Cupcakes”.
I am not sure how I missed that post about the cab driver, but I need to go find that one!
Ummm, the cab driver whose wife was murdered by the guy she was living with??? Isn’t that the cab driver? Step out of that cab, pronto!!
Wow – awesome – I just found your blog today and how cool that you are the very rare Electric Woman. I know this is going to be entertaining and now I have to subscribe!!!
Little did I know about the world of cookie blogs until yesterday… now I can’t stop reading them and checking out all the photos and links… I am sure this site will be the best, I can tell it’s going to electrify my baking for sure – lol!!
Thanks – can’t wait to spend the day reading more…
Tina
you are going to die when you see how many cookie blogs there are out there!
These look yummy..see ya..gotta go Facebook, & Twitter. 😉 Now, can you tell me just why you have an aversion to the ocean? j/k LOL! Love the post! 🙂
This is my first time on your blog and I am pretty excited about these whoopie pies. My 5 year old son is obsessed with smores so I know he is going to love them. I was wondering if you think I could sub in milk chocolate chips in place of the Hershey’s bars? I don’t have any chocolate bars but I have plenty of chocolate chips. I’m not a really adventurous baker so I very seldom stray from the specific ingredients listed.
Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your eel experience and I am with you 100% on the ocean thing. It’s just so…..yucky!
Absolutely! Hershey’s chocolate just gives you that specific flavor, but milk chips will absolutely do the trick!
Wow, so you’re electric, kind a like a superhero! :o)
Can’t wait to make these whoopie pies, I love smores… I was on a kick last summer and would crave them so I’d toast my marshmallows on the flame from my gas stove. I’ve only set off the smoke detector once. Kids don’t try this at home. :o)
Keep being awesome!
I just came across this blog last weekend…it’s on my favorites list…I’ve been stopping in every day this week and NOW I find out about your posts??!??
GOTCHA!
Gotta say, your wit cracks me up…it’s ELECTRIFYING (said like Danny said it to Sandy in the funhouse in Grease…)
Also, I’m in love with pies of the whoopie sort so my heart thanks you (my waist? well that’s another story…).
wow, a Grease reference… you’re a girl after my own heart 😉
Commenting on your blog has always been good karma for me…I commented on your majestic reeses stuffed oreos and I have had so many views on my blog from it! I think it’s because I actually read everything you say = good karma!
I need to make this one for weekend! In-laws are coming and I need to show off.
Hi! I love reading your posts! And I love comments on my blog, but I am usually too lazy, impatient, pin-happy, etc, to comment. I am ashamed. :/ And I will admit, that I don’t ready everyone’s posts. I simply do not care for their style. But you, I like. 🙂 And so yours I read. 🙂 Sometimes when I read your posts and drool over the pictures I get mini panic attacks because I am remembering that I have to go to the dentist every 6 months. And your blog is not going to give me cavities just reading it, of this I am sure. I am scared. June is coming. June is my next dental appt. Crap. Brushing, flossing, rinsing… none of it will help. I am getting computer cavities. TYVM. I blame your deliciousness. Shame. Oh well, we all gotta make sacrifices, right? 😉
