Moose Farts might sound like a joke, but these no-bake Canadian treats are the perfect combo of cheeky name and seriously good flavor. They’re bite-sized, rich, and incredibly easy to throw together—no oven required. With sweetened coconut, creamy peanut butter, chocolate chips, and graham cracker crumbs, each bite offers a satisfying chewy crunch that’ll make you giggle and go back for seconds.
Perfect for potlucks, holidays, or whenever you want a fun dessert without fussing in the kitchen, these treats are loved by kids and adults alike. They come together in just minutes, chill until set, and store beautifully for whenever the sweet tooth strikes. If you’re a fan of peanut butter balls or energy bites, Moose Farts are about to become your new go-to.
What Kind of Peanut Butter Should I Use?
For best results, use regular creamy peanut butter—like Jif or Skippy. Natural peanut butter tends to be too oily or dry for this kind of no-bake treat and may affect the consistency. If you only have natural peanut butter on hand, stir it very well and consider adding a touch more graham cracker crumbs to help with texture.
Ingredients for the Easy No-Bake Moose Farts
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

How To Make the Easy No-Bake Moose Farts
Step 1: Mix the Base
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut, graham cracker crumbs, and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Step 2: Add the Wet Ingredients
Stir in the creamy peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until everything is evenly combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
Step 3: Shape the Bites
Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll into balls using your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
Step 4: Chill to Set
Transfer the rolled balls to the fridge for at least 30 minutes or until firm. Once set, they’re ready to enjoy!
Serving and Storing Easy No-Bake Moose Farts
These little bites are best served chilled or at room temperature. They’re perfect for party trays, lunchbox treats, or an after-dinner sweet tooth fix. If you want to dress them up, try rolling them in crushed graham crackers or a dusting of cocoa powder.
Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Let them thaw for a few minutes before serving if frozen.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I make these gluten-free?
Swap the graham cracker crumbs with certified gluten-free graham crackers or almond flour.
Can I use honey instead of maple syrup?
Absolutely. Honey works just as well and adds a different kind of sweetness.
What kind of chocolate chips work best?
Semi-sweet is classic, but dark chocolate chips or mini chips also work great.
Do these taste like peanut butter balls?
Yes, but the coconut and graham give them a unique texture and flavor twist.
Can I make these nut-free?
You can substitute sunflower seed butter or soy nut butter for a nut-free version.
How long do they take to firm up?
About 30 minutes in the fridge is enough, but the longer they chill, the firmer they get.
