No-Bake Moose Farts are a classic Canadian treat that comes together quickly and requires no cooking at all. They are soft, sweet, and chewy, with a rich chocolate and coconut flavor. This recipe is perfect for beginners, busy days, or whenever you want a simple dessert with minimal effort.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1⁄2 cup cocoa powder
- 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1⁄4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Start by preparing your ingredients. Measure the rolled oats and shredded coconut into a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- In another bowl, add the softened butter. Use a spoon or spatula to press and smooth it so it mixes easily.
- Add the brown sugar to the butter and mix until the texture looks creamy and smooth.
- Pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Stir well until everything is fully combined.
- Add the cocoa powder and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Mix slowly at first to avoid spilling the cocoa, then continue until the mixture becomes a thick chocolate paste.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the oats and coconut.
- Use a spatula or your hands to mix everything together. Make sure the dry ingredients are fully coated and no dry oat pieces remain. The mixture should be soft enough to shape but firm enough to hold together.
- Line a plate or tray with parchment paper.
- Scoop out small portions of the mixture, about 1 tablespoon each, and roll them between your palms to form small balls.
- Place each ball on the prepared tray. Continue until all the mixture is used.
- Refrigerate the tray for at least 30 minutes so the balls can firm up.
- Once chilled, they are ready to serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
