Lifestyle blog Baking Bites creatively transforms the classic recipe of whoopie pies into a seasonal version featuring crushed candy canes as well as peppermint extract to encompass the atmosphere and flavors of the colder season.
These homemade whoopie pies are made using a slew of standard baking ingredients including sugar, eggs, cocoa powder, flour and oil to create the chocolate cake sponge. The cake is then topped with a refreshing peppermint frosting to create a sandwich. Then the icing is coated in crushed candy canes for added holiday color and flavor.
Customizing classic recipes for holiday seasons is a simple way brands can rebrand a food that is already well-establish as a favorite as a new product.
