Don’t let the funny name fool you — Moose Farts are a real treat. These little no-bake bites are a classic in many Canadian households, especially during the holidays. They’re soft, chewy, coconutty, and just sweet enough — like a cross between a macaroon and a truffle.
Perfect for potlucks, cookie trays, or when you need a quick dessert that doesn’t require turning on the oven, Moose Farts are easy to make and even easier to devour.

Ingredients (U.S. Standard Measurements – Makes 24–30 balls)
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, combine graham crumbs, coconut, chocolate chips, and nuts (if using). Stir in sweetened condensed milk and vanilla until the mixture becomes thick and sticky.
Step 2: Chill
Cover and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to firm up — this makes it easier to roll.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls. Roll each ball in shredded coconut or powdered sugar for a pretty finish.
Step 4: Store or Freeze
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
