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 everything is evenly combined.
Step 3: Cover the mixture and refrigerate it for 1 hour to allow it to firm up for easier shaping.
Step 4: Once chilled, scoop and roll the mixture 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 return them to the refrigerator to chill until firm, about 30 to 60 minutes.
Step 7: Serve the Moose Farts cold and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

For extra texture, try adding chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans to the mixture before chilling.
If you prefer a nut-free version, substitute graham cracker crumbs with crushed digestive biscuits or gluten-free crackers.
To spice things up, add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of rum extract for a subtle warmth.
Use mini chocolate chips to ensure even distribution and a better bite in every ball.

Storage

Store Moose Farts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer storage, place them in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. To enjoy after freezing, thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. These treats are best served chilled but can be eaten straight from the fridge or freezer.

How to Serve
