Whoopie pies actually originated with the Amish in Pennsylvania (including only basic ingredients, no pre-made items like "fluff") and migrated with them throughout the east including Maine and in each region the recipe has morphed a bit to include that regions preferences. In some areas of the country they are also called gobs. Loved your article.

My siblings and cousins grew up on Whoopie Pies, via a recipe handed down from who knows where. Most Texans don't know what they are, and if you try to describe it, they say "Oh yeah, a Moon Pie?" Over the last year or two, Whoopie Pies have gotten just a bit more common--you can find them now in the bakery section of some grocery stores, although they're really not the same as the homemade ones. They're more like Moon Pies! My sister and I are going to collect Whoopie Pie recipes from up north, and compare them to our family's mysterious recipe. This recipe is definitely going to be one of the first we make. I'm curious to see if our Texas recipe is at all similar to Maine Whoopie Pies. Texan here.
