Banana chocolate ganache woopie pies

Background: I hate bananas.  And yet, I never put them on my "no" list for my organic veggie box, as I think the potassium will be good for me...  I end up procrastinating on eating them, have overripe bananas, and stick them in the freezer.  Yes, it's true.  Bananas freeze well.  My roommate dropped the bag of frozen bananas I had accumulating in the freezer and I decided it was a sign to try a new banana dessert.  Having recently succumbed to the holiday cookies edition of the Martha Stewart magazine, I decided it was a great time to try the recipe for banana whoopie pies.  I didn't have cream cheese on hand, so I figured that caramel and chocolate filling would be just as good.  But then, I ran out of butter as well so I had to simply use chocolate ganache (I know, I know...it's a hard life).  I forgot the butter in the first batch and ended up with very low-fat banana cookies--not as good as the full butter cake-ish pie version but if there were not the comparison point, I dare say they were mighty good for a relatively healthy snack...  but then I went to make the real version.. and oh my my my, are they delicious!
