Nice & Moist but I am going to try for bigger flavor profile the next time I make them. I think to boost the flavor I will replace the water for the cake mix with coffeee & use Cheesecake Pudding instead of vanilla. Overall a really nice spin on the whoopie pie I was a little concerned on how well the cream cheese & milk would blend. I beat the cream cheese and slowly added the milk while I was beating it and it worked well.

These tasted really good, but they fell apart VERY easily. Not what I was looking for as I made them for my 5 year old.
