22 Whoopie Pie Recipes You Need to Make ASAP

There’s something about getting our hands all over dessert that makes it all the more sweet. How else do you explain the popularity of hand pies, ice cream sandwiches and of course, cupcakes? These 22 wonderful whoopie pies give you even more options for handheld enjoyment. Sandwiching a plume of fluffy filling between two sweet (or savory) cakes — each recipe creates an exceptionally tempting treat.

1. Chocolate Whoopie Pies With Buttercream Frosting: Nothing wrong about kicking things off with a classic. Not unlike Oreos, you can’t go wrong with a little chocolate-vanilla dessert sandwich action. (via My Ninja Naan)

2. Coconut Gobs With Ube Filling: Believe it or not, not even a single drop of food coloring went into the filling of these coconutty “gobs.” The culprit for such a vibrant violet hue: purple sweet potato. (via Jun-Blog)

6. Molasses Cookies With Ginger Cream Cheese Filling: This cookie-frosting flavor combo totally has us reminiscing about gingerbread. (via Pastry Affair)

7. Cinnamon Roll Whoopie Pie: Refrigerated cinnamon buns never come with quite enough frosting for our liking, so it’s nice to see a whoopie pie that corrects this oversight. A thick layer of cinnamon-cream-cheese buttercream frosting is stuffed in the middle, making these rolls simply irresistible. (via The Gunny Sack)

8. Lavender Whoopie Pies With Vanilla Bean Frosting: We encourage you to add these delicately-scented lavender pies to your edible flour repertoire, STAT! (via Cooking Classy)

11. Red Velvet Whoopie Pies: Want to make these red velvet cakes a year-round treat? It’s simple. Just swap out (or omit) the Valentine’s day sprinkles with whatever’s in season, and add a few drops of complementary-hued food coloring. (via Tide and Thyme)

12. Cookie Dough-Stuffed Whoopie Pies: Chocolate chip cookie dough sandwiched between chocolate cookies? Don’t mind if we do. (via The Housewife in Training)

15. PB+J Whoopie Pies: From time to time, even a classic combo like peanut butter and jelly needs an upgrade. Featuring a slick of homemade strawberry jam between two peanut-y cookies, these sandwiches will please the palates of adults and kids alike. (via Port and Fin)

16. Frozen Mint Chocolate Whoopie Pies (Paleo, Vegan): In place of frosting, a vegan chocolate ice cream can be found between two refreshingly minty, dark chocolate cakes. (via Fed and Fit)

Fleetwood Mac lovers, it's officially our time to shine! Apple TV+ just announced they're releasing a brand new documentary that's actually authorized by the band themselves — so you KNOW it's gonna be good. I'm sure we all have plenty of ideas about whatwent down between this rumour-saddled band (I mean I'll never stop thinking about that performance of "Silver Springs"), but now we'll finally get an in-depth look at it all...and hopefully know what actually happened! While this all sounds a LOT like the plot of Daisy Jones & The Six, I know I'm excited to learn even more about such a beloved IRL band.

Here's everything you should know about the upcoming Fleetwood Mac documentary!

What is the new Fleetwood Mac documentary about?

Fleetwood Mac is officially sitting down to tell their own story, giving us a "fully authorized" documentary, according to Apple. Director Frank Marshall says, “This will be a film about the music and the people who created it.”

The film follows Fleetwood Mac's 50 year history, starting in 1974 when the band first met and winding through their many career highs and lows. Not only will we get exclusive interviews from the band, but we'll also get never-before-seen footage and archival interviews from Christine McVie.

Marshall says, "I am fascinated by how this incredible story of enormous musical achievement came about. Fleetwood Mac somehow managed to merge their often chaotic and almost operatic personal lives into their own tale in real-time, which then became legend. This will be a film about the music and the people who created it.”

The documentary is currently untitled, but TBH who cares what it's called? I just can't wait to watch!

Who will be featured in the new Fleetwood Mac documentary?

Apple TV+

This documentary will feature interviews from Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks.

When does the Fleetwood Mac documentary come out?

There isn't an official release date yet, but it truly can't come out soon enough!
