"Krembo" Whoopie Pies (dairy free)

Krembo (Hebrew: קרמבו‎, a portmanteau word meaning literally "cream-in-it") is the name of a chocolate-coated marshmallow treat that is very popular in Israel. Krembos are only sold in the winter. They are hand-wrapped in colourful aluminum foil, and consist of a round biscuit base topped with marshmallow cream coated in a thin layer of chocolate. Krembos have achieved the status of a pop-cultural item and a national icon. (WIKI source)

It all started with a batch of Pecan Chocolate Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, when right in the middle of baking I was introduced to said marshmallow/chocolatey treats. There was no way I wasn't about to find some harmonious way to join the two in chocolatey matrimony!

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie + Krembo + Chocolate Ganache = TOTAL MOUTH EXPLOSION
