What Goes into This Moose Farts
To create these luscious treats, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (300 ml, Canada; 14 oz, US)
- 1/4 cup melted butter

How to Make Moose Farts
Follow these simple steps to whip up your own batch of Moose Farts:
-
Start by melting the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, combine it with the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Stir until everything is well blended.
-
Add in the graham cracker crumbs, dried coconut, and chocolate chips. Mix everything together until well combined. You should have a thick and sticky mixture.
-
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about an hour. Chilling the mixture makes it easier to handle when forming balls.
-
Once chilled, take the mixture out of the fridge and use your hands to roll the dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. They’re quite rich, so smaller sizes are perfect!
-
Roll each ball in additional graham cracker crumbs to coat them nicely.
-
Place the rolled balls on a baking sheet or platter and return them to the refrigerator until firm, about 30 minutes.
-
Once they’re nice and firm, refrigerate them in a sealed container until you’re ready to serve.
