What Are Moose Farts?
They’re sweet little cookie balls made from graham crackers, coconut, chocolate chips, and sweetened condensed milk. Everything gets mixed up, rolled into balls, and chilled. That’s it! They’re soft, slightly chewy, and full of flavor.
Despite the name, they’ve become a staple at many Canadian kitchens and holiday tables. They’re fun, a little nostalgic, and they always spark conversation.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Sweetened condensed milk – gives the filling that creamy, fudge-like texture
- Butter – adds richness and helps hold things together
- Vanilla extract – just a splash for warmth
- Shredded coconut – gives a soft, chewy bite
- Graham cracker crumbs – creates structure and a little crunch
- Chocolate chips – for a little sweetness in every bite
Optional: roll the finished balls in extra graham crumbs or coconut for a finished look.
How to Make Them
Step 1: Mix the wet ingredients
In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla.
Step 2: Add the dry ingredients
Pour in the coconut, graham crumbs, and chocolate chips. Mix until everything sticks together.
Step 3: Chill the mixture
Cover and refrigerate for about an hour. This helps firm up the mixture so it’s easier to roll.
Step 4: Shape the balls
Scoop and roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 to 1¼ inches). If you like, roll them in extra graham crumbs or coconut.
Step 5: Chill again
Pop them back into the fridge to firm up completely before serving.
Tips & Tricks
- Keep the balls small — they’re rich, so bite-sized is perfect
- Use mini chocolate chips for easier mixing
- Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to a week
- Freeze in a single layer, then move to a freezer-safe bag or container
- Let frozen balls thaw in the fridge before serving
