Hi Sharonlynn…Thank you so much! I am honored that you have enjoyed our emails! How in the world did you ever find us??? I just looked you up and you’re from Delaware…a long way from Kansas! I will have to brag on our clientele…THEY ARE AWESOME…and keep me supplied with an endless supply of great ideas for desserts, goodies and even an occasional, “good for you” recipe. So nice of you to comment! Have a great week. ~Vicki PS. Sorry it took so long to get back with you ladies…we have been at a Women’s Fair and are just now back to the office! 🙂
This recipe says to beat butter, peanut butter and powdered sugar for the filling, but in the list of filling ingredients butter is not listed. I was wondering how much butter to use. I think something might have been left out. Thanks.
Hi Debbie…Oops!!! You are SO RIGHT! I did make an error…It should read “Beat peanut butter, marshmallow cream and powdered sugar…” So sorry for any confusion! My mistake! Hope you enjoy these yummy Whoppie Pies! Thank you for blogging with us! Have a great week! ~Vicki
sounds delicious!!!!! what is the calories,fat,sodium, etc, per serving ?????
Hi Joan… I’m pretty sure it would be about a ka-zillion calories! This would have to be an “at your own risk” kind of recipe…so make up a batch…take them somewhere where there’s a crowd and make sure you don’t bring any home! (That is always my plan at least!) So sorry, but I don’t have that information for you…some things we just shouldn’t be allowed to know! 🙂 Thank you so much for reading our blog! I will have to check in to some kind of program that supplies that information. Have a wonderful week!
on debbie’s comment of beating the filling do you mean beat by hand instead of mixer ???? joan
I always use my Kitchen Aid mixer to beat, mix, blend everything…the exception would be like folding in whipped egg whites, or something very sensitive like that. Enjoy! Vicki
