HISTORY
Who doesn't love whoopie pies? They're just the right size and no need to cut into a cake and make a mess! These aren't just regular whoopie pies though, because of course they have cranberries in them! Using whole frozen cranberries you get a delicious burst of flavor and you can make them year round. Our cranberries can be found at most major retailers nationwide. Find a store near you. The ricotta filling is pretty amazing too! You have to give these whoopie pies a try!
