So what’s a Whoopie
Pie?
Great Darke County Fair...
Origins are unknown... taste will “knock your socks off”
By Elaine Bailey
The origin of the Whoopie Pie is not certain. But there is no
question as to the delectable taste of a Whoopie Pie. It is
rumored that when the dessert is discovered in a lunch bag or box, that
a cry of “Whoopie” erupts from the recipient, as she bites into the
cake sandwich stuffed with a sweet, creamy filling. So what could
improve on the original Whoopie Pie recipe? A deep fried Whoopie
Pie!
A Deep Fried Kentucky Whoopie Snack Cake is a newly-featured treat this
year at Hill’s Concessions. Chelsey Hill expertly batters a
skewered whoopee pie then deep fries it until golden. She
generously dusts it with powdered sugar and offers to cut it in
half.
Long time Darke County Fair goers can seek out this scrumptious dessert
gem. There are a variety of flavors including Red Velvet,
Buckeye, Original Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Raspberry Cream
and Maple.
