In reply to Janice. I think they would be fine! Even better would be to make the cookie part and frosting and then fill before serving.

I’m wondering how well these hold up overnight? I have a BBQ to go to tomorrow afternoon and since I’ve other things to make as well, I was considering making these tonight- Any thoughts?

Thanks

In reply to Paula. Yeah caramel can be tricky. Adding water certainly helps- if you try to dry method again, try sprinkling the sugar into the pan a little at a time and swirling the pan over the heat until it is all melted. Keep added about a tablespoon at a time, lifing it off the heat, swirling until melted- until its all melted and a dark caramel color. I hope that helps!

In reply to Renee @ Awesome on $20. We have been purging up a storm- believe me I love living on as little as possible :) We take about 5 bags to Goodwill a week!

In reply to Meg. Hey- you should give yourself credit for making the whoopie pies from scratch- that's the most important part :) I do suggest trying it with the caramel butter cream (even if you buy the caramel) because they are just SO amazing!

Had to pop in to say that I made these last night — my first time making whoopie pies! — and they were absolutely awesome! I’m surprised I have any left this morning. I definitely can’t be left alone with any pumpkin-flavored baked goods hanging around. I cheated and used store-bought buttercream for the filling (I know, I know — but I had no powdered sugar or cream cheese!), and they were still awesome. I want to try making them again using the true salted caramel filling . . . yum! Thanks so much for sharing (and my friends and family thank you, too!).

Consider giving away all but one set of dishes? Ask yourself how many dishes you really need. Living with less stuff can be strangely liberating. And with a baby on the way, you’re going to have plenty of things to trip over, anyway. :) These whoopie pies are adorable and sound delicious!
