I love it when you all send me your family recipes. Just send them, with a picture if you have it and I will do my best to get them online.

Can you ever have too many recipes for whoopie pies? I don’t think so.

Gloria has sent her mother’s  whoopie pie recipe. She says:

I’m wondering how old this recipe is if it uses a microwave! lol

I grew up in Maine and got this recipe for Woopie Pies from my mother. Don’t know where she got it. But it’s old!
