Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and oats. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Step 2: Add the milk and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until a smooth, slightly sticky dough forms. If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Step 3: Stir in the chocolate chips, coconut (if using), and peanuts (if using).
- Step 4: Roll the dough into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. The exact size is up to your preference.
- Step 5: Place the "Moose Farts" on a wax paper-lined plate or baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. Refrigerating for longer will result in a firmer treat.
Notes
- Store these delightful treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week to maintain their freshness.
- For a slightly warmer, gooier experience, let them sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Serve these "Moose Farts" alongside a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly decadent dessert.
- To prevent sticking, lightly grease your hands with cooking spray or butter before rolling the dough into balls.
