Wife and I decided to put $25/month into a backcountry account in lieu of insurance. It is likely more cost effective and there’s no chance of denies coverage when you’re paying in cash.

Keeping the witches out on Halloween may be a challenge in New England.

I agree. I'm a big ratio guy with sandwiches and whatnot. It's never a popular opinion, but cake, and in this case, the pies, have too much frosting the same way lots of Italian sandwiches have too much meat. I don't want a block of ham and salami, I want a nice ratio of veggies, cheese, meat, etc. I joke all the time about opening an eatery called hoRATIO Sans(wiches). Like the comedian. ( a stretch I know)

I had a friend who actually made homemade whoopie pies one time and they told me knowing the amount of lard that goes into them made them less pleasurable to eat.

The cake to frosting ratio is way off. It needs to be much less frosting than most are sold as.

Where does one obtain a Whoopie Pie made with cream cheese in the Portland area? I've never seen that (not a Mainer originally). I'm getting older, fatter and more stupider every day and maybe I should never have a cream cheese filled Whoopie Pie... But if I wanted to get one for a friend?....

My Dad tipped me off to Douins years ago when we would drive through often. It's my goto stop along route 2. The brownie whoopie pies are my absolute favorite. The chicken tenders are complete shit the last 2? years which sucks, because they used to be very good as well.

That’s the only whoopie pie flavor combo I like .

The accuracy, I used to live in the area and had a woman I was seeing at one point who had to temporarily live in a studio on 1st while her rental company finished her new place. Long story short, there were multiple times I had to physically stop junkies from breaking in at two or three in the morning, thinking we were the dealer who lived right upstairs. That whole section of the city is a cesspool.

Funny, my wife just made some today. I’ll ask what she used.

This will sound disgusting, but I use a mix of cream cheese, fluff, and cool whip (same recipe as fluff fruit dip) instead of the traditional shortening/sugar mix. It tastes a bit like cheesecake.
My whoopie pies have raised hundreds of $$$ at local bake sale fundraiser auctions, so I know they're good.

Good idea. In the old days they were much smaller. They were a small lunch box treat your mom could make for not too much money rather than today's commercial monsters.

I definitely agree with this, however, I’m guessing I’ve never had one with butter or cream cheese. I can see that being a better option
