Moose Farts

These soft, chewy, coconut packed Moose Farts are the easiest no-bake treat to ever hit a Christmas tray. A sweet mix of butter, condensed milk, coconut, graham crumbs, and chocolate chips, rolled into bite-sized balls and coated in more crumbs for that signature golden finish. They come together in minutes, taste like a retro Canadian classic, and guarantee at least one good laugh before anyone even takes a bite.

Notes

  1. Use softened butter: Soft butter blends smoothly with the condensed milk so your mixture turns creamy instead of lumpy.
  2. Sweetened coconut is key: It adds moisture and sweetness, giving these their classic soft, chewy texture. Unsweetened coconut dries things out.
  3. Graham crumbs add structure: If the mixture feels too soft to roll, add another tablespoon or two until the balls hold their shape.
  4. Chill the mixture twice: A short chill before rolling and another after coating helps them firm up perfectly.
  5. Mini chocolate chips work best: They mix evenly and give you little pops of chocolate in every bite.
  6. Make-ahead friendly: Refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Perfect for stocking up before holiday chaos hits.
  7. Customize them: Swap graham crumbs for Biscoff, add chopped nuts, or roll them in coconut for a snowy finish.
