Blueberry Whoopie Pies

Blueberries are tasty and cute, but with the right ingredient, they are even patriotically healthy!

Blueberry Whoopie Pies are simply the cutest treats ever – and they’re just as tasty as they are cute! Blueberries and gooey marshmallow fluff are sandwiched between two moist red velvet cookies. Both kids and adults will love them, and the red, white and blue combo makes them perfect for patriotic parties. Swap red velvet cake mix out for chocolate, vanilla or gingerbread and these Blueberry Whoopie Pies can be a hit for any occasion.
