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 recipes are nice and all, but it’s your hilarious banter and witty remarks that keep me coming back each day. People are really too busy to read about S’More Woopie Pies? They need to reevaluate their priorities and mend their woeful ways. If you don’t have time to read a post, which takes a lot of work to compose, then you need to spend less time on Pinterest and Twitter and Facebook!
I don’t do any of those three, on purpose. So I have lots of excess reading time. I love your blog.
Yum! I bet you could use the “cookie” part of these with actual toasted marshmallows and chocolate bars in place of the traditional graham crackers. Soft and gooey, rather than crispy and crumbly. And, my graham crackers often get stale in between s’mores making. I know, I know, how could there be such a lull in s’mores making? I may have to try these. Maybe for mothers’ day treats…
Haha! As much as I love the recipes, I almost love the stories that come before them more! I think you’re hilarious 🙂
These look awesome and I might have to be making them very soon! Love the story about the electric eel and I have to agree with you about the ocean, I don’t enjoy when things touch me and I don’t know what they are. I am the one squealing like a little girls when seaweed brushes by me because I’m convinced it will sting me or eat my leg 🙂
Now, Shelly, i dont usually leave comments (secret0stalker type), but I think that today needs to bwe the day I publicly decalre my love for your site! I like to read your funny post (hilariness) and the yummy recipes. I made my way over here through Kristan’s site (I like the first-name-basis thing, it makes me feel like we’re real-life friends)
BTW, I made cookie cups last weekend and everyone loved them! I remixed the recipe a little and put a ministure snickers in the center- Delicioso!!
Anywho, I was looking at the recipe and I had a question: why vinegar? It seems so strange to put vinegar in cookies, so I thought I’d ask.
Love the site, keep being you 🙂
The vinegar in the milk will mimic a buttermilk, it adds a little acidity to the batter and works with the baking soda with the rise and texture. It gives the cookies a really light texture 🙂
You are so funny! I’m so excited when one of your post pops up in my reader feed, doesn’t matter if it’s this one or That’s what we said! You know I read you cuz I’ve even checked with you on other items to use if I can’t find the ones you recommended. I hope you never stop blogging!
Be Safe-
You could get paid some big bucks to sell your secret of electric power! I love your blog & ALWAYS read your message before I even look at the recipe. You give me a little humor to start my day! I think you & your ideas are always great!
You mean you post RECIPES on this site? I had no idea as I only come here for the stories, I mean after all YOU’RE ELECTRIC!!!!! 🙂
Lol I completely know what you mean!!! Sometimes I get comments and it’s so obvious they didn’t read the post–especially when they ask a question that I clearly answered 😛 So I can relate to you on this one! I read your entire posts, though, no worries 😉
