Handsome husbands cousin is off to China for a whole year to do something terribly clever in design. So, before she left, she came down to Devon for a visit to keep her 'topped up' on Devon loveliness whilst she was away.
In honour of her exciting trip, I wanted to bake her something very very un-chinese...the thinking being she was about to have a year of missing all her favourite things, so before she goes, she needs to stocked up, to keep her reserves going.
My new Hummingbird Bakery cookbook suggested these cheeky fellows; chocolate and peanut butter whoopee pies. A few tweaks with the recipe and the method were required...but they turned out pretty well, and were soon gobbled up. Cups of hot tea were the best accompaniment, with a glass of cold milk a cool second.
These were my first whoopee pies (yes, I know I am late to the party) and I think they need some further refinement, but not bad for an early try out.
