Last week I made some marshmallow creme and it was so wonderfully delicious that I have since been dreaming up different ways that I can use it. Dolloped atop a bowl of ice cream with chocolate syrup it is simply perfection, yet I found myself still wanting to do more with it. I realize red velvet whoopie pies are already plastered all over the internet and Pinterest, with Valentine’s Day just weeks away… but I still had to do it. I wanted my own whoopie pies! So, here we are…
This picture just isn’t showing off the beautiful red color, as I would like. I tried out a new photography light box today… well, kinda sorta. One of the lights that came with it was broken, so back to Amazon it goes. The flash light I had my mother hold up to one side of the box didn’t do much for the picture. Plus, I think the settings are all off on my camera again. A professional photographer I am not, but it’s slowly getting better. Anyways, I think you still get the gist of what I made today. I seem to be off on a bit of a tangent… so I’ll jump right into the recipe now.
I doctored up a box cake mix a bit for this treat, but it’s the homemade marshmallow cream that really makes it special. Please don’t judge me for the cake mix. 🙂

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly grease.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat first five ingredients on low speed just until moistened. Gradually add and mix in red food coloring, until you’ve achieved a deep red color.
- Using a 1/4 cup measure, drop batter onto cookie sheets, approximately 2 inches apart.
- Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until set. Allow to cool on cookie sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to cooling racks. Cool completely.
- Dollop about 2 tablespoons of marshmallow creme onto the flat side of one cookie, being careful not to overfill. Place another cookie on top of creme, bottom side down.

January 31, 2013 at 10:13 PMThey look amazing, even with some technical difficulties in photographing. Amazon is so good about replacing items that are broken, but still a huge hassle to send it back.
