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

  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Optional Topping

  • Whipped cream (for serving)

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 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly until all dry ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Add the Creamy Ingredients: Add 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup softened cream cheese, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Blend these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth, uniform consistency with no lumps.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips into the mixture to distribute them evenly without breaking them apart.
  4. Shape the Treats: Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and shape them into small balls or logs. Place each shaped piece onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper to prevent sticking.
  5. Chill: Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate the treats for at least 1 hour. This chilling step helps them firm up and develop their perfect texture.
  6. Serve: Once chilled, serve the Moose Farts cold. Optionally, top with whipped cream for an extra creamy finish and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
  • To make nut-free Moose Farts, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
  • Use gluten-free graham crackers to make this treat gluten-free.
  • For a dairy-free version, replace cream cheese with a plant-based alternative.
  • The treats can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Optional addition of whipped cream enhances creaminess and presentation, but can be omitted for a lower calorie treat.
