Introduction

Moose Farts are a delightful Canadian no-bake treat that combines sweet, crunchy, and creamy textures into one irresistible bite. These rich, coconut and chocolate-studded balls are perfect for when you want a quick and indulgent dessert without turning on the oven.

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 the mixture and roll it into 1¼-inch balls. Keep the size small as they are quite 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 the Moose Farts cold and enjoy their delicious, melt-in-your-mouth flavor.

Tips & Variations

For a nutty twist, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the mixture before chilling.
If you prefer a slightly softer texture, reduce the chilling time or serve them shortly after rolling.
You can substitute graham cracker crumbs with crushed digestive biscuits for a different flavor.
Use mini chocolate chips for a more even distribution of chocolate throughout the mixture.

Storage

Store Moose Farts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed container; thaw in the refrigerator before serving. Because they are best enjoyed cold, reheating is not recommended.

How to Serve

Dark brown chocolate chips are placed on top of the crumb and flakes in a casual pattern, adding contrast. The soft texture of the dessert contrasts with the crumbly and crunchy toppings, all set on a white marbled textured surface with a slight green-striped cloth beneath the dish. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
