Introduction

Moose Farts are a fun and delicious no-bake treat from Canada that are as charming as their name suggests. These sweet, chewy balls combine coconut, graham crackers, and chocolate for a rich dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.

The image shows four rounded mounds of a creamy, pale yellow dessert placed closely together in a white dish with scalloped edges. Each mound is topped with rough, light brown crumbs and scattered white flakes, giving a textured look. Dark brown, shiny chocolate chips are placed on top and around the dessert, adding contrast to the light colors. The dish sits on a white marbled surface with a striped cloth partially visible underneath. The soft lighting creates a warm and inviting feeling. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 can (14 oz / 300 ml) sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon 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 the mixture and roll it into 1¼-inch balls. Keep the size small, as these treats are rich and indulgent.
Step 5: Roll each ball in additional graham cracker crumbs to coat them 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 delightful, no-bake treat.

Tips & Variations

For extra richness, try substituting half the chocolate chips with white or butterscotch chips.
If you prefer, roll the balls in finely chopped nuts instead of graham cracker crumbs for added texture.
Make sure to chill the mixture well before shaping to prevent the balls from falling apart.

Storage

Store Moose Farts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze them; just thaw in the fridge before serving. These treats are best enjoyed cold or chilled.

FAQs

Are Moose Farts gluten-free?

Traditional Moose Farts use graham cracker crumbs, which typically contain gluten. For a gluten-free version, substitute with gluten-free graham cracker crumbs or crushed gluten-free cookies.

Can I make Moose Farts without shredded coconut?

The shredded coconut adds texture and flavor, but you can omit it if you’re not a fan. Consider increasing the amount of graham cracker crumbs slightly to maintain the right consistency.
