I made these no-bake chocolate and peanut butter bars recently, but they disappeared so quickly that I completely forgot to photograph them for you. I made chocolate peanut butter scones, which you'll see in a bit, and I ended up with several pictures of the last scone, half eaten, because before I had just focused on eating them instead of on my photography.
So, with all that in mind, I feel pretty good that I managed to get one picture of these chocolate whoopie pies with peanut butter filing. I made the large whoopie pies--the Pennsylvania Dutch-sized ones--and they were too massive to actually eat. Each cookie was about three inches in diameter and overflowing with peanut butter filling. We couldn't get through more than half a whoopie pie in a sitting, but that did give us leftovers for later.
I'd recommend making much smaller whoopie pies. They don't seem big at first, but when you combine two cookies and a few tablespoons of filling they just start growing and growing!

Chocolate and peanut butter has to be one of the best food marriages ever - these look amazing!
ReplyDelete(On separate notes, it's refreshing to know I'm not the only one who eats what I've made before photographing it; and I have to thank you for my current addiction to Justin's peanut butter cups. Oh my goodness!)
Several beautiful recipes have not made it up here because they were eaten up before I could even think to get my camera out. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the Justin's PB cups. I'm just glad more stores by me aren't carrying them yet because I think I would never stop eating them!
Deletegreat looking whoopies! i should have made the peanut butter vesion, as we're not big fans of swiss meringue buttercream, but didn't think of it... oh well! next time :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm too addicted to peanut butter right now to try anything else. Your filing was piped so beautifully though!
DeleteI know what you mean about the size! I meant to make some of them peanut butter but forgot. Glad to know they were good (and they look great too).
ReplyDeleteThanks Rebecca! I'm looking forward to trying some out that are much, much smaller. I could only manage to eat half of mine!
DeleteI love your bigger, peanut butter filled whoopie pies! Actually the bigger pies are the ones I remember as a kid! I was tempted to use peanut butter. They look delicious! : )
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne! In theory, I liked the bigger ones too, but these were too big to handle.
DeleteNext time I am going to try peanut butter filling. Yours look really delicious! Love chocolate and peanut butter!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chelly! Definitely try the peanut butter filling. When I couldn't eat any more of the whoopie pie cookie, I ended up just eating it straight out of the cookie. It was divine!
DeletePeanut butter! I was wondering if anyone was going to skip the vanilla. I love how the larger ones look, but I agree - it's a lot to eat, even the smaller ones!
ReplyDeleteI was really torn between vanilla & Peanut Butter - glad to hear you liked them! They look great.
ReplyDeleteI was hoping someone would try the peanut butter version. I kinda wish I'd have taken that route, but the vanilla buttercream is a wonderful recipe, but I'd prefer something different with this cake-cookie.
ReplyDeleteGlad I could help. I want this peanut butter frosting on everything I eat from now on. I'm excited to try the vanilla sometime soon!
DeletePB and chocolate!! Perfect combo. Haven't made whoopie pies in ages. Need to change that soon.
