Devils Food Whoopie Pies

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Prepare a whoopie pie pan with baking spray.

In the bowl of a standing mixer, combine the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs and the vanilla and beat until fluffy and well combined.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the mixer and partially combine. Add the milk and combine all of the way for a smooth batter.

Using an ice cream scoop, spoon the batter into the whoopie pie pan. You should only fill it halfway to 2/3 full. Use a little offset spatula to make sure that the batter spreads to the edges of the pan.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until just baked through and fluffy. Let the little cakes cool on a rack and repeat the process with the rest of the cake batter.

While the cakes are cooling, make the chocolate peanut butter buttercream.

To make the frosting, combine the butter, sugar and milk in the bowl of a standing mixer. Combine and then add the peanut butter and whip to a creamy frosting.

Melt the chocolate in the microwave and add to the frosting when it has cooled. Whip until smooth.

Spread or pipe onto half of the whoopie pie cakes, and then top the frosting with another cake.

Add candy eyeballs for a funny and creepy effect!
