Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup coconut flakes
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients and Utensils: Collect all ingredients and prepare a large mixing bowl, a spoon for mixing, and a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In the large mixing bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, coconut flakes, mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and chopped nuts until evenly distributed.
- Mix Dry Ingredients Thoroughly: Stir the combined dry ingredients to ensure uniformity throughout the mixture.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Slowly pour the sweetened condensed milk into the dry mix while stirring continuously to coat all ingredients and create a sticky, malleable mixture.
- Incorporate Vanilla Extract: Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and stir thoroughly to blend the flavors evenly.
- Form Balls: Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls approximately 1 inch in diameter and arrange them on the lined baking sheet.
- Repeat and Space: Continue forming balls until all mixture is used, making sure to space them slightly apart to prevent sticking.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet with the formed balls into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up properly.
- Serve and Store: Once firm, serve the Moose Farts immediately or store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for freshness.
Notes
- Use parchment or wax paper to line the baking sheet for easier removal and cleanup.
- Chilling time can be extended if you prefer a firmer texture.
- Substitute nuts with your favorite variety for customized flavor and texture.
- For a nut-free version, omit the nuts or replace with sunflower seeds or extra chocolate chips.
- These treats should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain their shape and freshness.
