Easy No-Bake Moose Farts are a classic Canadian treat that’s as fun to say as it is to eat. I make these sweet little bites with coconut, graham cracker crumbs, sweetened condensed milk, and chocolate chips—then roll them into balls for the perfect no-bake dessert or snack. They’re soft, chewy, a little chocolaty, and totally irresistible.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuit crumbs)
Sweetened shredded coconut
Mini chocolate chips
Sweetened condensed milk
Vanilla extract
Optional: pinch of salt, extra coconut or cocoa powder for rolling

Directions

I mix the graham crumbs, coconut, and chocolate chips together in a large bowl.
I stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until everything is fully combined and sticky.
I let the mixture chill in the fridge for 15–20 minutes to make it easier to roll.
I scoop out small portions and roll them into bite-sized balls using my hands (lightly greased or dampened to prevent sticking).
If I want, I roll the finished balls in extra coconut or a dusting of cocoa powder.
I store them in the fridge to firm up and enjoy them chilled or at room temperature.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 24–30 small balls and takes just 20 minutes total—plus a little chilling time.

Variations

Sometimes I add chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or swap out the chocolate chips for butterscotch or white chocolate. I’ve also flavored them with almond or maple extract for a twist. If I want a little crunch, I add Rice Krispies or chopped pretzels to the mix.

storage/reheating

I store Moose Farts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. They also freeze really well—I just thaw them in the fridge or at room temp before serving. No reheating needed. Easy No-Bake Moose Farts

FAQs

Where did the name “Moose Farts” come from?

It’s just a playful Canadian nickname that makes people smile. The treat itself is delicious and has nothing to do with the name—thankfully.

Can I make these dairy-free?

Yes. I’ve made them using dairy-free sweetened condensed coconut milk and vegan chocolate chips. The texture stays the same and the flavor is just as good.

Are they too sweet?

They’re sweet for sure, but balanced by the graham and coconut. If I want to tone it down, I use unsweetened coconut or add a pinch of salt.

Can kids help make these?

Definitely. It’s a great recipe for little hands since there’s no heat involved. They love rolling the balls—and sneaking a few chocolate chips too.

Can I use unsweetened coconut?

Yes. I’ve used unsweetened and just added a tablespoon of maple syrup to balance the sweetness. It works just as well.

Conclusion

Easy No-Bake Moose Farts are one of my favorite treats to whip up in a pinch. They’re chewy, chocolaty, and full of nostalgic charm. I love that they take just a few pantry staples and no oven to come together. Whether I’m sharing them or hoarding a batch in the fridge, they always disappear fast—and never fail to make people smile.
