Ingredients

Units Scale

Base Ingredients

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

Creamy Mix

  • 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, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly blended to create the dry base.
  2. Add the Creamy Ingredients: Add the creamy peanut butter, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Blend the mixture until it forms a smooth, consistent batter without lumps.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the mixture with a spatula or spoon to distribute the chips evenly without breaking them.
  4. Shape the Treats: Using your hands or a scoop, take portions of the mixture and shape them into small balls or logs. Place these shaped treats spaced evenly on a lined baking sheet or tray.
  5. Chill: Cover the tray with plastic wrap and refrigerate the shaped treats for at least 1 hour. This allows them to firm up and hold their shape.
  6. Serve: Once chilled, serve the moose farts cold. Optionally, top with whipped cream for extra creaminess and a decorative touch.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to blend smoothly.
  • For a nut-free version, sunflower seed butter can replace peanut butter without altering texture much.
  • Refrigerate longer if you want firmer treats, or freeze briefly for an ice cream cake-like texture.
  • Use gluten-free graham crackers if you have gluten sensitivities.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
