Store your Whoopie Pies in an airtight container or wrapping. We recommend wrapping in tin foil and freezing our shoofly pies, whoopie pies and cookies if you’re not going to consume them within 1-2 days after receiving them. Otherwise, you can wrap them in plastic wrap and leave them on the kitchen counter if you plan on snacking on the treat in a day or two. Take note of the filling, however, as some might require refrigeration.
