Ingredients for the No-Bake Moose Farts
Each ingredient in this recipe plays a crucial role in the texture and flavor of these delightful dessert bites:
- Sweetened Condensed Milk – Acts as the binding agent and adds creaminess and sweetness.
- Shredded Coconut – Provides the chewy texture and tropical flavor that defines this treat.
- Crushed Graham Crackers – Adds a mild crunch and structure to the base.
- Mini Chocolate Chips – Offer bursts of chocolate throughout each bite.
- Vanilla Extract – Enhances all the flavors and adds depth.
- Pinch of Salt – Balances the sweetness and heightens the flavors.
- Optional: Chocolate Drizzle and Extra Coconut – For that beautiful finish and extra indulgence.
How To Make the No-Bake Moose Farts
Step 1: Mix the Base
In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, crushed graham crackers, mini chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
Step 2: Add the Sweetness
Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until everything is fully combined and sticky.
Step 3: Form the Bites
Using your hands or a small scoop, shape the mixture into small, bite-sized balls or mounds. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.
Step 4: Chill to Set
Refrigerate the tray for at least 1 hour, or until the bites are firm and set. This helps them hold their shape and makes them easier to serve.
Step 5: Garnish (Optional)
Drizzle the tops with melted chocolate and sprinkle a bit more shredded coconut over each one for an extra pop of flavor and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I make these without sweetened condensed milk?
It’s possible, but not recommended. Sweetened condensed milk provides both the sweetness and the binding needed to hold the moose farts together. If you’re avoiding it, try using a thick alternative like coconut cream with added sweetener, but results may vary.
2. Are Moose Farts gluten-free?
Not by default, since graham crackers contain gluten. However, you can substitute gluten-free graham cracker crumbs to make them suitable for a gluten-free diet.
3. Can I use unsweetened coconut?
Yes! If you prefer less sweetness, unsweetened coconut works just fine. You may want to slightly increase the amount of condensed milk to ensure everything binds well.
4. How do I keep them from sticking to my hands?
Lightly wet or oil your hands before rolling the mixture into balls. This helps prevent the sticky ingredients from clinging to your skin.
5. Can I add nuts or dried fruit?
Absolutely! Chopped pecans, almonds, or dried cranberries make great additions for added texture and flavor.
