Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Whoopie Pies (Revisited)

I thought I’d bring back a favorite fall recipe that I originally posted last year– pumpkin chocolate chip whoopie pies. These bad boys are delicious. You have to try them. Like, today. Seriously, gather your ingredients and get to bakin’.

I have to admit that I’ve never made whoopie pies. They’re an East coast thing, and I live in the Midwest. I didn’t grow up on whoopie pies. I grew up on chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and (real) fruit pies. Not gonna lie, I’m a whoopie pie lover now.

Surprisingly, I didn’t come across these on Pinterest. I picked up some pumpkin chocolate chip whoopie pies at Kroger the other night. I don’t typically buy desserts from the store, but these looked tasty. After eating one I knew that I had to make some myself.
