Chocolate Peanut Butter Whoopie Pies Recipe

	Peetabear / All my dishes 1 year, 3 months ago this is a different take on the classic whoopie pie... you can change the flavor by using almond butter or cashew butter instead of peanut butter...though i have not tried that. Prep:45m Cook:11m Servings:20	Peetabear
