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
First off, these look delicious and I kind of want to make them RIGHT NOW.
Secondly, I have pretty much figured out the food blogs that have funny people running them that write things that will make me laugh, and the ones that are super boring but have great food. Yours is one that I will always read the posts instead of going straight for the recipe, so hopefully that makes you feel special 🙂
thanks so much 🙂 I do hope you like the recipes too, though..buy hey, I’ll take it!
Girl I ALWAYS read your blog and your buddy over at Confessions of a Cookbook Queen. You two crack me UP! I typically read when I am sitting in class, bored out of my mind learning about some oral lesion or how cavities form (I am going to be a dentist, and I love sweets… yep) and then I start giggling and then people stare at me like I am a crazy lady… it’s pretty obvious that I am looking at something other than class material, because if I were laughing at how to write prescriptions, I might actually be crazy.
Anywho- keep up with the awesome anecdotes, whether they are true stores or not (but the whole wrestling an electric eel story and getting magical electrical powers is true right…. Right??) Love your blog(s)
i luvvvv your posts…. the sweets are just the cherry on top…. its nice to know someone else is a freak like me!! …. i have been following your blog for about 1 month and i am now addicted to it… keep it up… and by the way the electric eel thing happened to me too. <3
. Yes…. I tend to drool and pin. But, I also read. So I wanted to say THANK YOU for your site, your words, and all of your yummy delishisness ( I think that is a word…?)
I am not a fan of seafood, and since I was a kid my dad has always said it was in my head. He said the only reason I wouldn’t eat fish was because It thought it was gross that they swam in their poop 🙂 Hadn’t really thought about it until he said it though!
I always find it funny when you put in your post a review of something, or how something didn’t turn out and what changes you would make etc, and you get nothing but positive comments on how delicious something is!
You know the funny thing about this post is, I was just telling my husband the other day most of the reason I read your blog is because your posts are so funny! 🙂 Most of the time don’t even read the recipes. We aren’t too big on sweets. So you see, you at least have one faithful reader who loves to hear what you have to say! 🙂
Hi! I read your posts because they are funny and not limited to info about the item you are baking.
Regarding your post from yesterday: I have never gotten a pedicure, but when I do, I will be paranoid about a boob touching my foot! Thanks! lol
I dont think your free electricity from an eel will work. I’m pretty sure he will put out DC current instead of AC! ha ha
I love the idea of putting crushed graham crackers in the batter, I will have to try that, thanks for tuning me in to that one.
I’ve never been good at being a skimmer. I had a post where I didn’t like part of the recipe, and of course, I could tell the skimmers because they went on about how good that part looked. And really, I could never skim your posts, because they are some of the most entertaining out there!! (Love the whoopie pies, by the way!)
Ok, so here is the deal: I.always.read.your.post. You are hilarious! Every time I see you posted something new – I smile because I know that the laugh is next! Seriously! I know that some people are intimidated by big bloggers and they don’t know what to post and “it looks delicious” is the only thing that comes to their mind. 🙂 Besides, this is comment nr 81 – I think some people read your post today 🙂 Oh, the whoopie pies! Love ’em! I didn’t have much success with whoopie pies yet, but I would love to try these. I have some big fans of s’mores here 🙂
Great idea! Did you come up with it yourself?
PSYCH! I totally skimmed, I mean READ every word of this post, so I know you didn’t make up this recipe yourself.
I do have a legit question though: do these TASTE like smores?
S’mores “inspired”. The Hershey’s chocolate really makes a difference for the authentic smores flavor. I actually prefer these because the cookies are soft 🙂
