Description
Delicious Moose Farts are irresistible no-bake chocolate treats combining graham crackers, coconut, peanut butter, and chocolate coating. Perfect for parties, gifts, or satisfying your sweet tooth in just 20 minutes!
Ingredients
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 14–16 crackers, finely crushed)
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons coconut oil (for smooth chocolate coating)
Optional: sprinkles, crushed nuts, or sea salt for topping
Instructions
1. Combine graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl.
2. Melt peanut butter and butter together in microwave for 30-45 seconds until smooth, then stir in vanilla extract and salt.
3. Pour the peanut butter mixture over dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until everything holds together when pressed (about 2-3 minutes).
4. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until firm.
5. Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth (90-120 seconds total).
6. Remove chilled balls from refrigerator. Using a fork, dip each ball into melted chocolate, coating completely, and return to parchment paper.
7. Add optional toppings immediately before chocolate sets.
8. Refrigerate coated balls for 15-20 minutes until chocolate is firm. Serve chilled or at cool room temperature.
Notes
Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, layering between parchment paper.
Freeze uncoated balls for up to 3 months, or coated balls for up to 2 months.
For nut-free version, substitute sunflower seed butter or soy nut butter for peanut butter.
Use gluten-free graham crackers to make this recipe gluten-free.
If mixture is too dry, add softened butter 1 teaspoon at a time. If too wet, add more graham cracker crumbs.
Dark chocolate or white chocolate can be substituted for semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Chilling before coating is essential—don’t skip this step or balls may fall apart during dipping.
