Canadian Moose Farts ~ No Bake Cookie Treats 🫎

Moose Farts is the funny name of a popular & easy to
make Canadian treat that both kids & adults enjoy. 🫎

Ingredients:

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1/4 cup butter, melted

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups unsweetened flaked coconut

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs (for rolling)

Method:

In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, butter and vanilla.

Stirin the coconut,crumbs and choclate chips. Mix well.

Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or longer.

Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Add the 2/3 of graham cracker crumbs to a small bowl.

Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough and form into small balls. Roll the balls in the small bowl of crumbs. Place on the lined baking sheet. Repeat until all of the dough is used. (The coated balls should not be touching.)

Place the tray of the cookie balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour before serving. 

Makes 50 cookies. The flavor and texture are best when served chilled. Transfer to an airtight container with sheets of waxed paper between layers of farts. 😀 Store for up to a week.

Notes:

It's possible that the funny name for these treats comes from their resemblane to puffball mushrooms that have gone to spore. Sometimes, in some areas of Canada when the mushrooms are squeezed, the released spores are referred to as "moose" or "horse farts". Whether or not this is the actual origin of the name, the humor and the cookie treats both are fun. 🫎
