Any idea why whoopie pies are loaded with so many calories?

Whoopie pies are just so good, but, boy, they are calorie-dense! I mean, can someone please help me understand what's really behind their construction? Maybe some lighter alternatives? I'd love some insights into making a healthier version! ????

Hey! Whoopie pies can be calorie-packed because they’re loaded with rich ingredients like butter, sugar, and cream. They’re basically a dessert indulgence, so they pack a punch in the calorie department. Enjoy them in moderation and savor every bite!

Whoopie pies are calorie-packed 'cause they’re usually loaded with butter, sugar, and cream filling—definitely a sweet treat splurge! For a lighter version, try swapping out some butter for applesauce and using less sugar in the filling. Thanks for the suggestion!

Whoopie pies are calorie-packed with their creamy filling and cake-like cookies; try swapping in whole wheat flour, reducing sugar, and using Greek yogurt for a lighter twist!
