Notes

So I wanted to bake for a support group tonight, but all the stores are closed. My fridge was purposefully empty because I had been on a trip for the last few days. I did however have butter and almond milk, as well as some chocolate chips left over from a previous project. I found a recipe that could work with that and off I went.

The whoopie pie sandwich part was actually pretty devoid of taste. It was the filling that made it good. Otherwise very rich – probably too much so for me to make it again.
