Recipe: Spiced Molasses Whoopie Pies

by JBF Editors on December 08, 2011

whoopie pies

While the whoopie pie lost out to wild blueberry pie in the fight for the title of Maine's official state dessert (as consolation the frosting-filled cake sandwich was designated as the official state treat), this baked good continues to attract plenty of fierce fans.
