If you love whoopie pies like we do, you’ll also want to try our funfetti whoopie pies and these red velvet whoopie pies! Salted caramel and chocolate come together in this delicious whoopie pie concoction that I know you’re going to love! It takes the traditional chocolate whoopie pies recipe to a whole new level with a salted caramel frosting filling. If you have ever wanted a reason to learn better self-control, these little chocolate salted caramel cookies are possibly the best way to put yourself to the test. I made dozens and dozens of whoopie pies in all different flavors for a church youth camp that I am a leader at every summer. Afterwards, I had so many requests from the teenage girls from camp (and subsequent messages from their moms) for the recipes, that I decided to share some of my favorite combinations on here. Whoopie pies are just plain fun. Fun to make, fun to eat, and even fun just saying their name. Who doesn’t hear “whoopie pie” and think, “yeah, I want to try that!” Also, they freeze really well so we were able to make them well in advance and they tasted totally fresh once we got them up to the mountains. They are great for bake sales, kids parties, and more!
What is a whoopie pie?
A whoopie pie is a delicious pillowy cake-like cookie. Honestly, it is pretty similar to the tops of a cupcake while remaining slightly chewy like a cookie while stacked like a sandwich with delicious frosting in the middle. So whether you consider these chocolate salted caramel cookies or chocolate salted caramel cakes, you’ll have an easier time just agreeing to call them whoopie pies.
How to make these chocolate salted caramel whoopie pies
How do you store whoopie pies?
For best results, I recommend storing your whoopie pies in an airtight container. This will help to keep them from drying out and if left at room temperature, they should be good for up to 1 week.
Should I refrigerate whoopie pies?
While you don’t have to put your whoopie pies in the fridge, you may find that keeping them cold can help to extend life by a few more days. Not only that, but I think the whoopie pies just taste better chilled. Just make sure that you have them in an airtight container.
Can I freeze whoopie pies?
If you want your whoopie pies to last much longer, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. Place your whoopie pies on a cooking sheet so that they can freeze solid, after that, wrap each in plastic wrap and place in a Ziploc bag and freeze. Now you can pull them out whenever you’re hungry. Just let them come to room temperature first.
