whoopee pies
Chocolate sandwich treats
Whoopee pies are a New England dessert consisting of two round, cake-like cookies sandwiching a sweet cream filling.
The chocolate-and-marshmallow version is most traditional, though variations abound.
Despite the name, they're closer to small cakes than pies: She packed whoopee pies in the kids' lunches.
