Think about this: you learn this recipe, you leap up as a result of you may have the entire components in your well-stocked pantry, and in mere minutes the candy fall scent of maple syrup is perfuming your home.
You guys advised me on Fb lately how a lot you like maple and I took that very severely. There’s simply one thing about chocolate and maple. It’s such an underrated taste mixture! Right here darkish chocolate whoopie pies are sandwiched with maple buttercream made with actual maple syrup. I used my Crown Maple Syrup for this, as I’m fully smitten and may’t get sufficient. If you wish to pack a bit of further maple punch, add a touch of maple extract too.
I went by means of a serious Whoopie Pie part earlier than I began The Rose Desk. I used to make them on a regular basis! Sadly it’s been years since I baked whoopie pies and all of a sudden bought the largest yearning for them. These handheld little truffles are the proper factor to make for recreation night time or a lunchbox deal with.
I bought about 26 or 28 Whoopie Pies out of this recipe however you could possibly make them smaller in the event you favor.
