Introduction

Moose Farts are a fun and delicious no-bake treat that hail from Canada, known for their cheeky name and delightful flavor. These little balls combine sweetened condensed milk, coconut, graham crackers, and chocolate chips to create a rich and chewy indulgence perfect for any occasion.

There are white shredded pieces scattered on the crumbs, adding a flaky texture. Dark brown, glossy chocolate chips are placed on the tops and sides of each scoop, adding contrast to the light colors.

Ingredients

1 can (14 oz / 300 ml) sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
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

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Step 2: Add the graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, and chocolate chips to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Step 3: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour to allow it to firm up.
Step 4: Once chilled, scoop out the mixture and roll it into 1¼-inch balls. Keep them small as they are rich and indulgent.
Step 5: Roll each ball in additional graham cracker crumbs to coat evenly.
Step 6: Place the coated balls on a baking sheet and chill again for 30 to 60 minutes until firm.
Step 7: Serve cold and enjoy this sweet, chewy treat.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, try mixing in chopped nuts or dried cranberries along with the chocolate chips.
If you want a richer chocolate taste, use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips instead of regular milk chocolate.
To make the balls firmer faster, briefly freeze them before rolling in graham cracker crumbs.

Storage

Store Moose Farts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze the balls in a sealed container for up to three months. When ready to eat, thaw them in the refrigerator for a few hours or serve them slightly chilled for the best texture.

How to Serve

FAQs

Are Moose Farts gluten-free?

Traditional graham cracker crumbs contain gluten, so this recipe is not gluten-free. However, you can substitute gluten-free graham cracker crumbs to accommodate dietary needs.

Can I make Moose Farts without coconut?

Yes, you can omit the shredded coconut if you’re not a fan or have allergies. The texture will be slightly different but still delicious. You might want to increase the graham cracker crumbs slightly to maintain the right consistency.
