What could be bad about Red Velvet Mini Whoopie Pies with Marshmallow Cream Cheese Frosting? You know, besides the calories and all?
If it wasn’t for those calories, y’all!
Since they’re mini-sized though, you don’t have to feel guilty about eating more than one.

It makes me feel a little bit better, at least.

But just be prepared, because they’ll catch back up with you on the 15th, unfortunately. But enjoy them anyway! They’re so good!
