Ingredients

Scale

Base 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 Toppings

  • Whipped cream

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. Stir well until the mixture is evenly combined to create a dry cocoa-cracker base.
  2. Add the Creamy Ingredients: Add the creamy peanut butter, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Blend thoroughly using a spatula or mixer until the mixture becomes smooth and well incorporated, forming a consistent dough.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips carefully with a spatula to distribute them evenly without breaking the chips.
  4. Shape the Treats: Scoop out portions of the mixture using a spoon or cookie scoop and shape each portion into small balls or logs with your hands. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
  5. Chill: Cover the shaped treats with plastic wrap and place the baking sheet in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 1 hour to allow the mixture to firm up and flavors to meld.
  6. Serve: Once chilled, serve the Moose Farts cold. Optionally, top with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra creamy finish before enjoying.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and smooth texture.
  • For a nut-free version, sunflower seed butter works well and maintains a similar creamy texture.
  • Use dairy-free cream cheese alternatives like cashew-based or soy-based to make this recipe dairy-free.
  • If making gluten-free, substitute regular graham crackers with certified gluten-free graham cracker crumbs.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • These treats can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
