Main Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs – Adds a slightly crunchy texture and a light sweetness.
  • 1 cup shredded coconut sweetened or unsweetened – Creates the signature chewiness and adds a subtle nutty flavor.
  • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk – Acts as the binder giving the mixture its creamy texture and rich sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Enhances the overall flavor with a warm aromatic touch.
  • 2 tablespoons butter softened – Helps blend the ingredients smoothly for a well-balanced bite.

Optional Add-Ins for Extra Flavor:

  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips – Adds a delicious chocolatey twist.
  • ¼ cup chopped nuts walnuts, pecans, or almonds – Introduces a light crunch and a deeper nutty taste.
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon – Enhances warmth and depth of flavor.
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt – Balances the sweetness for a more refined taste.

Coating Options for Extra Texture:

  • Powdered sugar – For a soft melt-in-your-mouth finish.
  • Cocoa powder – Adds a slightly bitter contrast to balance the sweetness.
  • Extra shredded coconut – Enhances the coconut flavor while adding texture.
  • Crushed graham crackers – Gives a light crumbly exterior for a fun twist.

Why These Ingredients Work Perfectly Together:

  • ✔ Graham cracker crumbs provide a solid slightly crunchy base.
  • ✔ Sweetened condensed milk ensures the perfect sticky consistency without baking.
  • ✔ Coconut flakes add chewiness and a delicate nutty flavor.
  • ✔ Butter and vanilla extract round out the flavor and ensure a creamy bite.

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

    1️ Prepare Your Mixing Bowl

    • Grab a large mixing bowl and add the graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, and softened butter. Use a spoon or clean hands to mix until everything is well combined. This step helps evenly distribute the flavors and ensures each bite has the perfect texture.

    2️ Sweeten and Bind

    • Next, pour in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Stir everything together until the mixture becomes thick and sticky. If you’re adding extras like mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or a pinch of cinnamon, fold them in now to enhance the flavor.

    3️ Shape into Bite-Sized Balls

    • Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture feels too sticky, lightly grease your hands with butter or chill the mixture for 10-15 minutes before rolling.

    4️ Coat for Extra Flavor & Texture

    • Roll each ball in your preferred coating:
    • ✔ Powdered sugar – for a soft, melt-in-your-mouth finish
    • ✔ Cocoa powder – for a rich, slightly bitter contrast
    • ✔ Extra shredded coconut – to enhance the chewy texture

    5️ Chill to Set

    • Place the coated Moose Farts on a lined baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps them firm up and develop their signature chewiness.

    6️ Serve and Enjoy!

    • Once chilled, they’re ready to enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week, or freeze them for up to two months for a longer-lasting treat.

    Pro Tip:

    • If you love an extra chocolatey version, drizzle the finished bites with melted dark chocolate before chilling. For a fun variation, mix in a tablespoon of peanut butter or Nutella for a richer taste!
