Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Creamy Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup softened cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins and Toppings

  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Substitution Suggestions

  • Nut-Free Option: Use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
  • Dairy-Free Option: Substitute cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free graham crackers.

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, unsweetened cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly until all dry ingredients are evenly blended.
  2. Add the Creamy Ingredients: Add the creamy peanut butter, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Blend all together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps from the cream cheese.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to distribute them evenly without breaking, adding delightful bursts of chocolate in every bite.
  4. Shape the Treats: Using a spoon or your hands, scoop portions of the mixture and shape them into small balls or logs. Place them neatly on a lined baking sheet or tray for easy handling.
  5. Chill: Cover the tray with plastic wrap and refrigerate the shaped treats for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up and meld flavors perfectly.
  6. Serve: Enjoy the chilled moose farts as they are, or top with whipped cream for added creaminess and indulgence just before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to achieve a smooth mixture.
  • For a firmer texture, chill the treats longer than 1 hour, up to overnight.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • These treats are perfect for quick desserts or potluck contributions due to their no-bake nature.
  • Feel free to roll the shaped treats in extra cocoa powder or powdered sugar for a decorative finish.
