Pumpkiny, Chocolatey, Decadent Whoopie Pies

I live in Pennsylvania. I’m a transplant. I originally come from Michigan. My husband is a PA native. Around these parts, they call whoopie pie (a Michigan/Mennonite term) “gobs”. So, depending on what part of the world you are from we will be making pumpkin whoopie pies/gobs today. I hope you enjoy these yummy little cakes as much as my husband and I do. They are so rich and chocolatey!

Check out what my pals over at The Crumbs And Chaos had to say about this recipe:

When I saw this Pumpkin Chocolate Whoopie Pie in my newest Everyday Food Magazine, I knew that this would be my fall whoopie pie.  The pumpkin cream cheese combo is an obvious, but yummy one.  However, the chocolate adds a richness that I love!

These pumpkin and chocolate whoopie pies are uh-mazing. seriously, you have got to make these yummy thangs!
