However, when we can take baking and make it simple and STILL come up with a totally amazing creation, well that’s worth getting excited about.

Over the years when I’ve made Whoopie Pies, it’s been time consuming and messy. But these Quick and Easy Whoopie Pies are the exact opposite of that! In fact, they are actually fun to make! To start, I mixed together my Pillsbury Funfetti® cake mix, eggs, water, vegetable oil and pudding mix in my blender until it was smooth and creamy.
As soon as my batter was ready, I pulled out my Whoopie Pie pan and let my littlest use an ice cream scoop to fill each opening about two thirds of the way full.
After gently tapping my pan to level out the batter, I placed in into the oven on 350 degrees for about ten minutes, checking the center with a toothpick often to ensure that my Whoopie Pie pieces were done but not overcooked. As soon as they were cooked perfectly, I removed them from the oven and allowed them to cool completely. Once they were cool, it was time to assemble my Quick and Easy Whoopie Pies. Now, this was where things got really awesome! I didn’t have to make filling for the center and I didn’t even have to scoop it out of a can into one of my piping bags. With Pillsbury Filled Pastry Bags that are found in the frosting section of the baking aisle at Walmart, everything was already done for me! My piping bag was ready and the tip was already in place, allowing me to make something special with the help of my boys with very little effort!
After my oldest did his best job of using the Pillsbury Filled Pasty Bag in Vanilla to add just the right amount of filling, I simply added the top to my Quick and Easy Whoopie Pie and they were ALMOST perfect!
Since I’m a believer that every celebration needs a little color, I grabbed out some sprinkles and added them to the sides of the filling as well as the top of my Quick and Easy Whoopie Pies. In just minutes, we had all 12 Quick and Easy Whoopie Pies assembled to perfection and were able to simply toss the empty Pillsbury Filled Pastry Bag into the trash so there wasn’t even much clean up needed! In less than 30 minutes, we were able to create a truly celebration worthy treat all thanks to easy to use Pillsbury Filled Pastry Bags that are new at Walmart!
Not only did each of our Quick and Easy Whoopie Pies look amazing but they had the mouthwatering taste that Pillsbury delivers time and time again! After whipping up this fun and easy treat, I’ve decided that I will never look at frosting the same! And I’ll never struggle with all the work that getting perfect frosting can require. Instead, I’ll continue making Quick and Easy Whoopie Pies the simply amazing way with help from Pillsbury Filled Pastry Bags!

Whoopi pies come in so many tastes and the filling can be different tastes. We add sprinkles and fruit sometimes.
Whoopie pies are a favorite here, but they HAVE to be red velvet ones otherwise my silly kids won’t eat them. I want to make these ones so I can eat them all myself.
I love the convenience of the filled pastry bags. I love that they are disposable because I hate washing reusable pastry bags. The whoopie pies look delicious!
