Sweets for your Valentine

 Have you decided what you're making your Valentine this year?  If you haven't come up with anything yet, can I suggest these?  Strawberry Milk Whoopie Pies!  I spotted these over the summer  at Sprinkles Bakes, and have been trying to find a time to make them......well, Valentine's Day is just perfect for the pretty pink beauties.

Now, I have to admit, these are not really my cup of tea......although I loved making them and I think they're absolutely adorable.....I would much prefer something chocolate-y :)  The hubby, on the other hand, thought that these were super duper fantastic.......he was a happy camper when these were all done. In fact, he took the rest of them to work, and they were completely devoured!  Majority rules on this one, right?

The super soft, cake-y cookies taste just like strawberry milk.......or like taking a bite of a strawberry jello poke cake.  Inside is a sweet, yummy buttercream.....and topped with a fun swirl of sprinkles.  The hubby sure enjoyed his early Valentine's Day treat!

Check out Sprinkles Bakes for the recipe.......and Enjoy!

Chocolate Whoopie Pies

Oh my!  How did I ever let this one slip by?  As I was going through some old pictures I found this one of Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Dulce de Leche frosting that I made back in the Fall.  These were a huge hit, they were insanely delicious, and yet I somehow completely forgot to post them.  Wow!  My bad!

I had some leftover Dulce de Leche Buttercream Frosting after making a batch of Tres Leches Cupcakes (which you need to make if you haven't yet!).  I couldn't bear the idea of tossing the frosting, bit I wasn't in the mood for more cupcakes.  So, after thumbing through a bunch of my cookbooks, I settled on the Chocolate Whoopie Pies from Baked Explorations (you can't go wrong with those guys!).  Their recipe called for a Swiss Vanilla filling, but I used my leftover Dulce de Leche buttercream frosting, and it went together perfectly!  The whoopie pies are a deep dark chocolate, and I think for my first time making whoopie pies, they don't look half bad!  These got rave reviews from everyone, including the hubby!

Check out the recipe for the Whoopie Pies at Modern Domestic, and the frosting recipe at Bakers Royale......and Enjoy!
