Instructions

1

a) Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 3.

b) In a small saucepan, combine the cornflour and water (see pantry for amount). Heat on medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, 2-3 mins.

c) Once thickened, combine in a large bowl the cornflour mixture, cake mix and the vegetable oil (see pantry for amount).

d) Once combined, add the eggs (see pantry for amount) and mix to incorporate fully.

2

a) Spoon the cake mixture, 2 tbsp at a time, onto a lined baking tray, trying your best to keep the spoonfuls of mixture circular. The mixture should make approximately 20-24 individual circles. TIP: Leave at least 2 inches between each blob of mixture. You may need 2 or 3 trays.

b) Pop the tray onto the middle shelf of your oven and bake until the cakes spring back slightly when pressed gently and appear dry on top, 11-13 mins.

c) Once baked, allow the cakes to cool on the tray for 5-10 mins before placing them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

3

a) While the cakes bake, set aside as many white chocolate chips as you have cakes - these will be your creepy crawlies' eyes!

b) In a small saucepan, combine the remaining white chocolate, honey (see pantry for amount) and the cream cheese. 

c) Stir on medium heat until the chocolate is completely melted, 3-4 mins. This is your white chocolate frosting!

d) Transfer the white chocolate mixture into a small bowl, then cover and refrigerate until the cakes are cool.

4

a) Meanwhile, fill a measuring jug with hot water from your tap.

b) Place the unopened packet of milk chocolate chips into the hot water and set aside for 5 mins. Then, flip the packet upside down and leave for a further 5 mins.

c) Carefully lift the packet out of the water and massage to ensure all the chocolate chips have melted. If there are still unmelted chips, return to hot water until completely melted.

5

a) Once the milk chocolate is melted in the packet, use kitchen scissors to snip off a small corner from the packet to create a small hole.

b) Pipe 5cm long lines of chocolate onto a lined baking tray and pop into the fridge to set, 15-20 mins. TIP: We recommend at least 6 legs per whoopie pie.

6

a) Divide the white chocolate cream cheese mixture over the flat side of half the cakes.

b) Place a few legs into the cream cheese, sticking out the sides, then sandwich together with an uniced cake.

c) To finish, pop a couple of the reserved white chocolate chips onto the top of each whoopie pie for the eyes.

Enjoy!
