Whoopie pies seem to be everywhere these days. They are featured not only in bakeries across the country, but make it into the news and even have dedicated bakeware. Fortunately, you don’t need special equipment to bake these tasty desserts and introduce them to the one place you might not have seen them yet: your own home kitchen. I have some great whoopie pie recipes up on Baking Bites, including Banana Whoopie Pies and Salted Caramel Pumpkin Whoopie Pies, but today I’m giving away a copy of the cookbook Whoopie Pies. It’s a great little book that I’ve reviewed before, full of recipes classic and more contemporary whoopie pies, and mouthwatering photos to inspire you to bake!
To enter the contest, leave a comment with your favorite whoopie pie flavor below. It doesn’t have to be a flavor you’ve tried, either, so feel free to name any combination of cookie and cream filling that you can think of! I might even end up making some of the tastiest combinations into recipes for Baking Bites! The contest ends Sunday at midnight and the winner will be randomly selected from the entries. Don’t forget to fill in your e-mail on the comment form (it will not be public), as that is how I will contact the winner, and good luck!
Update: Contest is now closed. Congrats to Lauren of Sweet and Twisted on winning this giveaway!

March 18, 2011I’ve only ever had chocolate with vanilla frosting, so that’s my favorite by default. But I’d love to try other flavors!
Danie B.
March 18, 2011I haven’t baked (or eaten) many varieties of whoopie pies. I always long for the ones my grandma made when we were kids…chocolate with vanilla cream.

Terri A.
March 18, 2011I was going to say carrot cake with cream cheese filling, but seeing the comments for chocolate w/ peanut butter filling, that’s what I’d like to try first!
Logan
March 18, 2011I like to keep it simple 🙂 Chocolate with cream cheese filling…. YUMMM!!!
Nancy A
March 18, 2011I have to say chocolate with peanut butter filling. Although, chocolate with cream filling is pretty darn good.

Joyce
March 18, 2011Chocolate, nothing can beat chocolate.
Danielle
March 18, 2011I’m not sure there’s a flavor I wouldn’t try! I think a Boston Cream Pie riff would be good with maybe the top being a chocolate cookie, the cream filling, and the bottom being white.
Des
March 18, 2011Espresso pie with cookies-n-creme filling! It is delicious and sinful.
Tara
March 18, 2011I’d love to try a cookies ‘n’ cream variety! Chocolate cookies sandwiched around a vanilla cream with crushed Oreos mixed in. Mmmm!!
Joni
March 18, 2011To be honest, I’m not sure when the last time I had a true whoopie pie was, but I occasionally make something similar with red velvet cake cookies and a cream cheese frosting filling, so I’ll go with that as my favorite flavor.
charlene
March 18, 2011For a savoury take, cornbread whoppie pie with a bacon, cheddar and chive filling.
Carole
March 18, 2011Chocolate-mint cookies with some type of mint filling. Another good one would be hazelnut cookies with nutella filling.

Christina
March 18, 2011Red Velvet.. hands down! But Peanut Butter comes in a close second for me. Why should we stop with just one favorite though?
melissa
March 18, 2011Having grown up in PA, my favourite has always been the red velvet, preferably homemade from this little farm shop which my parents tell me is now closed down. But having made your Pumpkin & Salted Caramel back in November, it’s really a tossup now.
Karen
March 18, 2011the original, Chocolate!

March 18, 2011What a fun challenge, I think a spicy chai cake with a light vanilla cream, perhaps (to mimic a chai latte) would be delicious, perhaps rolled in some pulverized almonds for a bit of crunch!
Sarah
March 18, 2011Pumpkin whoopies with cream cheese filling are fantastic!
Kristi
March 18, 2011I’ve never made a whoopie pie, though I’m thinking a dark chocolate with raspberry filling would be lovely.
