"These moist and fluffy whoopie pies are easy to make and combine two well-loved flavors: chocolate and raspberry. For that reason (and the pretty pink filling), they're perfect to serve your sweetheart for Valentine's Day or any other special occasion. The cookies are cake-like and rich, and the marshmallow creme and raspberry filling is to die for!..."
