Will any cake mix work for this recipe?

For this recipe, we call for devils food cake mix. Really any chocolate cake mix would taste delicious, with this recipe. Chocolate Fudge cake mix would taste delicious with these moon pies. 

Marshmallow Frosting:

Did you know that most Moon Pies (Whoopie Pies) are filled with a smooth and creamy Marshmallow frosting? 

We have the best recipe as a filling. But you could always fill them with a cream cheese buttercream frosting if that’s what your family prefers. 

If you are looking for a recipe shortcut, you could also used pre-made or canned frosting. We recommend making the marshmallow frosting, but if you are in a hurry, and don’t have time to make your own frosting, you could easily use pre-made.

You could shake things up and use a different flavor, like chocolate, cherry, Funfetti, strawberry, German chocolate, etc.
