Moose Farts, a whimsical Canadian treat, are sweet, no-bake cookie balls made with coconut, chocolate chips, and graham crumbs. These rich, decadent snacks are easy to make and perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
1 can sweetened condensed milk (300 ml in Canada, 14 oz in the US)
1/4 cup melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups dried coconut (fine or medium cut)
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, plus extra for rolling

Instructions
1. Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
2. Add Dry Ingredients:
Stir in the graham cracker crumbs, dried coconut, and chocolate chips. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Roll each ball in additional graham cracker crumbs to coat evenly.
6. Final Chill:
Place the coated balls on a baking sheet and refrigerate until firm (about 30 minutes).
7. Store:
