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
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the graham cracker crumbs, dried shredded coconut, and chocolate chips to the wet mixture. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly combined into a thick dough-like consistency.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour to allow it to firm up and make shaping easier.
- Shape the Balls: After chilling, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into 1¼-inch balls. Keep the size small as these treats are rich and indulgent.
- Coat with Graham Cracker Crumbs: Roll each ball in additional graham cracker crumbs to coat all sides evenly, adding crunch and flavor.
- Final Chill: Place the coated balls on a baking sheet or tray and chill again in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes until firm.
- Serve: Serve the Moose Farts cold for the best taste and texture.
- Storage: Store leftover balls in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze them for longer storage.
Notes
- Ensure the balls are kept small, about 1¼ inches, to balance richness.
- The mixture firms best when chilled thoroughly, so don’t skip the refrigeration steps.
- For a variation, consider adding chopped nuts or a pinch of cinnamon.
- Use extra graham cracker crumbs for rolling to get an even coating and added texture.
