NOTES

Decorate them with your favorite player number or name!

When I served these for a super bowl party one year they became the main subject of talk from the guests.

They were used as place cards at the snack table. Little goal posts held the name of the guests.

And each one got to take home their own whoopie pie.

You won’t find anything like these green whoopie pies.

These used food coloring added to your cake mix. And the flavor takes on that of the mix you used.

The larger cake mix brands make a seasonal green velvet cake mix. If you can find it, the color of the cakes are deep green. That saves on the amount of food coloring. Any after taste From excess use of the food coloring isn’t there.

If you do add food coloring be sure to use 1 drop at a time and mix well until you achieve the color you are looking for.

You can put a team jersey in the top and serve for the homecoming celebration!

Feel free to decorate them in any way. Roll them in colored sugar for a softer look.

They were so easy to make. Even simpler than a cupcake.

And my young granddaughter had so much fun helping.

I used a whoopie pie pan to cook the cake.. But you can put them in a Texas size muffin pan filled to slightly shorter than the height you desire.

These were filled with a cream cheese filling but next time I think a butter cream icing would be better.

In the end I was very pleased with how well received these whoopie pies were.

I am sure no one expected to see these at the gathering!

These Green Whoopie Pies deliver more than a wow factor To your table. They are delicious too. Use for those football parties. Change up the colors for your own school. St Patricks Day will never be the same. The versions are endless.

Red Velvet has quickly become the most favorite food in my life. I have this love/hate relationship with it. I love the presentation of the the dish, but I hate how it dyes my hands, sink and tools bloody red. None the less, I have more than 15 boxes in my pantry!

    What a fascinating name, I’ve got to try some. That filling sounds like it’s the kind of “lick the bowl” devine

    Once again I must confess that I’ve never had or made a whoopie pie. Last year I was determined to make them and bought a gigantic jar of marshmallow cream and ended up using it in a fruit dip. Oh well, there’s always this year! Thank you for sharing with us this week at Celebrate Your Story, have a great weekend.

      They are good. Cakelike big cookies and you candecorate them anyway you want. Dip an edge in chocolate, add sprinkles or mini chips. I bet you would make some great ones!!
