It's kind of a cream icing... I think most of the ones you buy up here now don't have eggs in the filling, but are a shortening-based "buttercream" type frosting. It's seriously almost an inch thick in some of them, and they taste like sugary fat.

I just replied to Shell down below, but I'll put it here too so you don't have to go looking for it. It's a shortening-based "buttercream" type frosting, VERY thick as you probably saw - almost like the filling in an Oreo cookie, but not as hard.

They look very good but honestly just hearing what is in the filling makes my stomach hurt.
Usually I see the chocolate cake with white filling. Today I saw apple cake and chocolate ship cookies with the white filling.
Have you had nothing but rain all week? We sure have here. Everything is very green and soggy. I'm ready for some sunshine.

The sun actually came out today for a little while and I just about fainted from shock, hehe. But this is spring in Maine! Hopefully we'll only have a few more weeks of this nonsense and then the weather will get better. Adam and I are going to Chicago next week - maybe we'll bring the sunshine back with us.
The best whoopie pie I've had was pumpkin with white filling. Of course, knowing now what's in them, I'll never eat such a thing again, but I don't see why you couldn't just take a safe pumpkin bread recipe, make it into "cookies", and fill it with a safe white icing, like the Seven Minute kind. I'm going to try that one of these days.

I went to bed last night around midnight and it was pouring, I woke up at 5am to the sounds of pouring rain.
Yum, the pumpkin sounds delicious. I love pumpkin bread and you could easily make cookies and use the 7 min. frosting. Maybe I should be doing some baking on these rainy days.
Bring that sun back with you Casey, we need it!

*giggle* These sound like Moonpies!! Except Moonpies are not quite as big and iirc are oatmeal cookies sandwiched with cream filling. I haven't eaten these kinds of treats since I was oh, err, like 12?? *lol*
Thanks, Rose!

She's out in California, and she thought they sounded like moonpies... but what *I* know as a moonpie is 2 cookies that are kind of like thick graham crackers, with cream or marshmallow in the middle, and the whole thing covered with chocolate. I haven't seen any of *those* since I lived in Maryland.
Now I want to know about regional sweets all around the US! So much for that diet! LOL!
Anyway, glad to help!

You are right Casey. Moonpies are two cookies with marshmello in the middle and covered in chocolate. I have also seen them covered in white chocolate. This is definitly a southern delicacy.
I haven't eaten one of those since I was a kid, many years ago. I don't remember liking them that much but I know many people love moonpies.
