The best Whoopie Pie Discovered
OMG Wow! I’m not a huge dessert or sweets person but sometimes my calorie defence from time to time to devote. Whoopie is an understatement when it comes to these small pies. While walking our dogs one day asked my wife if I had ever tried coffee in this cool little bakery which is off beaten track road located in a Washington Street, a quiet little side street in a picturesque small New England town of Newburyport known more for it’s maritime history and historic Bed & breakfasts. Who would have thought it would be home to the best Whoopie pies too. My answer was “no I did not let us try it” and to my surprise I recognized Whoopie pies or at least I thought I did.
Let me explain … I was at a party where those wonderful little beauties had served as a desert. My belief was that the host had created desert in her kitchen and it was from some well protected family recipes, and which was in question, the host if she made them myself, I just assumed she did. Whoopie Pie I had on the brain in the days after the first tasting them and could not get over how good they were, and begged my wife to try to get the recipe. When I spotted this acquaintance had watching Whoopie on Chococoa weeks later I confirm whether this was in fact the incredible Whoopie that blew my taste buds. I ordered a coffee with a three pack Whoopies and when I was little Whoopie, almost as if I had discovered a buried chest of gold. I had discovered the source of the best Whoopie Pie I had ever eaten. So now the secret is out, and even better, you don’t have the recipe! Home of the best Whoopie pie can finally be shared with the world!
