This recipe is wonderful to make a massive batch and freeze. I like to do a few rounds at once, basically a massive baking day, and then put them into the freezer. Then you just need to let them thaw out and you can eat them! As you can tell I like being able to have different baked goods in the freezer ready to go and this is one of my favorites. My kids are obsessed with these so its a must have at all times. 

Now I try to keep my baking of these to the fall time but sometimes you’ll find me making them in the spring too. But I definitely love having them on hand for Thanksgiving as well. We are actually an apple loving family but I will always, always need to have some of these Pumpkin Whoopie Pies on hand! Also let me add this recipe is from my grandmother. This is a PA Dutch type recipe and we all absolutely love having these year round!
