I have made these twice now because they got such rave reviews when I took them to work the first time. I have also made the Lemony Gingerbread and the Red Velvet version (all in the February mag), and these were the favorite of all three.<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"04\/13\/2011 20:50","GUID":"68c79bd453de420ea6b2faada9772e27","MemberId":5932155,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"YFAM","SubmittedDate":"04\/13\/2011 20:51"},{"Comment":"

The \"cookies\" were soft and slightly sticky. The filling was good and easy to work with. It is stiff so will not \"squirt\" out the cookie. My friends preferred this filling and the cookie of the Chocolae Dream Whoopie Pies. This is a big cookie and you can probably eat just one so best made for a crowd.<\/p>","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"02\/28\/2011 16:35","GUID":"c3fb5e29b1e8470eabbdb25e983a8cdd","MemberId":4468758,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"ahallimore","SubmittedDate":"02\/28\/2011 16:35"},{"Comment":"

They make great cookies, especially when eaten still warm. I didn't enjoy the filling. I thought it make too big of a serving for one person. I'll make them again as cookies!<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"02\/05\/2011 21:22","GUID":"d5c7c843a3fe4cb5b1c000bfacea1a70","MemberId":1287353,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"Kochforfun","SubmittedDate":"02\/05\/2011 21:22"},{"Comment":"
This were OK-- & probably more than that IF you called them Go Peanut Butter instead of Go Bananas. The subtle banana flavor was definitely overpowered by the peanut butter. If you're a huge fan of traditional whoopie pies, these will not satisfy.<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"02\/05\/2011 17:39","GUID":"D97363CBA36F4B18A51E627837256E3F","MemberId":862869,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"chi-rn","SubmittedDate":"02\/05\/2011 17:39"},{"Comment":"
I made these for a Super Bowl food day at my work and they were gone in an hour. Had several requests for the recipe--they were very soft and yummy. I had quite a bit of extra filling, which I think I might use to stuff some chocolate cupcakes! I will definitely make again. They are better at room temp. even though you need to refrigerate because of the cream cheese and butter.<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"02\/04\/2011 11:49","GUID":"0fc9cca0ea8d4b39b43fd77da096595d","MemberId":1260149,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"tj4mga","SubmittedDate":"02\/04\/2011 11:49"},{"Comment":"
The whoopie pie is soft and chewy, but has little flavor and the filling is not peanut buttery enough. I may make it again, but after severe tweeks to the recipe!<\/p>","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"02\/02\/2011 20:51","GUID":"19b7f76610fa41608e4d0bf222d13386","MemberId":3649825,"Rating":2,"ScreenName":"baaby82","SubmittedDate":"02\/02\/2011 20:51"},{"Comment":"
