These Frankenstein whoopie pies will elevate your Halloween festivities. Chocolate whoopie pies with green whoopie pie filling and marshmallow eyeballs are so fun to make!
In a large mixing bowl, add the devil's food cake mix, water, vegetable oil, eggs, and instant pudding mix. Mix until smooth.
Grease whoopie pan molds.
Add batter about ⅔ full in each mold.
Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350℉ until whoopie cookie-cakes appear set and slightly pulled in from the edges of the mold.
Cool for 1-2 minutes before carefully turning out onto wire racks to cool completely.
Make Whoopie Pie Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter.
To the butter, add powdered sugar alternately with a little milk, beating after each addition until mixture seems consistent.*
Add vanilla and mix for another 10 seconds.
Add a few drops of food coloring and mix again until you have the desired green.
Decorate Whoopie Pies
Take one cooled whoopie pie cookie-cake. Spread a layer of filling before adding a second cookie-cake on top.
Decorate mini marshmallows with a single dot from an edible marker pen. Place 5-6 marshmallows all around each whoopie pie with the dot facing out - for a Frankenstein effect.
Notes
If frosting looks dry, add a bit of milk until the frosting comes to the right consistency. Or if not firm enough, add a bit more powdered sugar until frosting is thick enough for spreading.
