Whoopie Pies
"Another filling I have used in the past and really like is 2 cups confectioners sugar, 2 cups marshmallow cream, 1/2 cup soft butter and 2 teaspoons vanilla, beat using an electric mixer until smooth, this is more of a fluffier marshmallow-type filling although you will not get as much yield with this filling …both are very good!
