Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

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

Add-ins and Garnishes

  • 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 1 cup graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Stir thoroughly until all dry ingredients are well mixed and uniform in color.
  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 all together using a spatula or mixer until the mixture becomes smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips into the mixture to maintain their shape and add texture and bursts of chocolate in each bite.
  4. Shape the Treats: Using your hands or a small scoop, form the mixture into small balls or logs. Place them spaced evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  5. Chill: Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate the shaped treats for at least 1 hour to firm up and set properly.
  6. Serve: Once chilled, serve the Moose Farts cold. Optionally top with whipped cream for extra creaminess and a decorative touch.

Notes

  • For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
  • To make this dairy-free, use a dairy-free cream cheese alternative.
  • Use gluten-free graham crackers to make the recipe gluten-free.
  • Be sure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Mini chocolate chips add texture and surprise bursts of chocolate; do not substitute with larger chips unless chopped.
