Do you remember the old Whoopie Pies of your childhood? When I was growing up in the 40s and 50s, I loved them in Devil's Food with a creamy vanilla filling. I grew up next door to my elderly grandparents. They never had a driver's license or a car and frankly, they didn't need one. Although we lived in the country, their groceries were delivered once a month by 'The Peddler'. I would write out my grandparents grocery list and they mailed it to the Peddler. The next week he and his wife came by in what I believe was an old school bus painted blue and delivered the order. They always had extras on the bus and my sister and I would always run out to buy us each a whoopie pie. A once a month treat that was sooo good! Since chocolate and peanut butter are two of our popular things, this formula combines the two into Chocolate Chip-Peanut Butter Whoopie Pies. They are yummy although it is hard to compete with a childhood memory!
