Red Velvet Whoopie Pies


OK, so these do take a little effort, but they are so fun and delicious, it's worth it.  Let me start by saying you can use any kind of cake mix.  For these I made red velvet, but I also really like chocolate and vanilla.  I'm sure a spice cake would be really good too...OR Funfetti!!



Anyway, mix together the cake batter according to the recipe on the box.




Now, spoon the batter onto a lined cookie sheet in about 2 Tbl. size mounds.  Leave the batter about 2 inches appart because it will expand and rise quite a bit.


Now bake in a 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes.  You should be able to stick a fork in them and have it come out clean.


Now for the filling...  You could really fill them with any kind of filing from icing to marshmallow cream to some kind of cream cheese something... But, I like this recipe because it is really light and not too sweet.

Mix together 1 packet of INSTANT vanilla pudding mix with 1 Cup Whole milk.  Whisk until pudding comes together.


Add 1 Tub Cool Whip (8 oz.) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla and gently fold in.



Now fill the pies and ENJOY!!
