Whoopie Pies

One of the treasures of New England is the rich variety of foods that are part of its culture, including traditional New England cuisine and a variety of foods that have been introduced over the years.

One treat that makes up this treasure is the state treat of Maine – the whoopie pie (composed of made of two round mound-shaped pieces of chocolate cake, or perhaps pumpkin or gingerbread cake, with a creamy filling or frosting between them).
