Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz / 300 ml) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups dried shredded coconut
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (plus extra for rolling)
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, uniform mixture.
- Add dry ingredients: Incorporate the graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips into the wet mixture. Mix thoroughly until all components are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Chill the mixture: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour to allow it to firm up, making it easier to handle for shaping.
- Form the balls: Once chilled, use a scoop or spoon to portion out 1¼-inch balls. Roll each portion into a smooth, compact ball, keeping them small as they are very rich.
- Coat the balls: Roll each formed ball in the extra graham cracker crumbs to provide a lightly crunchy coating on the outside.
- Final chill: Place the coated balls on a baking sheet or tray and refrigerate again for 30 to 60 minutes until they are firm and hold their shape well.
- Serve and store: Serve the Moose Farts cold. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze them for longer preservation.
Notes
- Keep the balls small; they are rich and indulgent, so a little goes a long way.
- Make sure to refrigerate the mixture long enough to firm up for easier rolling.
- Extra graham cracker crumbs provide a nice texture contrast and help prevent sticking.
- These treats are perfect for kid-friendly cooking activities or no-bake dessert options.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent drying out.
