Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

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

Creamy Mixture

  • 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 well incorporated, forming a uniform base.
  2. Add the Creamy Ingredients: Add the creamy peanut butter, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Blend all ingredients together using a spatula or electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, creating a rich, creamy batter.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the mixture to distribute them evenly without breaking them, adding delightful bursts of chocolate throughout.
  4. Shape the Treats: Scoop out portions of the mixture using a spoon or small cookie scoop, then shape into small balls or logs with your hands. Place the shaped treats on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking.
  5. Chill: Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate the treats for at least 1 hour. Chilling firms the mixture, allowing the Moose Farts to hold their shape and develop a perfect texture.
  6. Serve: Enjoy the Moose Farts chilled. Optionally, top each treat with a dollop of whipped cream for extra creaminess and presentation appeal.

Notes

  • For a nut-free version, substitute the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
  • Use dairy-free cream cheese alternatives to make this dessert dairy-free.
  • Gluten-free graham crackers make this recipe suitable for gluten-sensitive diets.
  • These treats are best stored refrigerated and consumed within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
  • Mini chocolate chips can be substituted with finely chopped chocolate or chocolate chunks for variation.
  • Let the treats soften slightly at room temperature for a creamier bite before serving, if preferred.
