Try these for a special Valentine’s Day treat! I have been seeing a lot of recipes for Whoopie Pies lately, so I decided to make some. Most of the recipes called for shortening, and I am not a big fan of baked goods with shortening, so I finally found some recipes using butter that I was able to modify to my liking.
