Easy No-Bake Moose Farts Recipe

Easy No-Bake Moose Farts are the most delightfully named chocolate-peanut butter treats that will have everyone asking for seconds! I discovered this whimsical recipe during a particularly hectic week when I needed something sweet but had zero time for actual baking.

The first time I made these playful no-bake treats, my kids couldn’t stop giggling at the name while devouring every last bite. These easy no-bake moose farts combine rich cocoa, creamy peanut butter, and cream cheese into perfectly portable treats that taste like a cross between fudge and cookie dough. What makes them truly special is how quickly they come together – no oven required, just simple mixing and a bit of patience while they chill. The combination of graham cracker crumbs and mini chocolate chips creates the perfect texture that holds together beautifully.

What You Need for These Sweet Treats

I always recommend using room temperature cream cheese for the smoothest mixing – trust me, this makes all the difference in achieving that perfect creamy texture. Here’s everything you’ll need:

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (I prefer natural brands)
• 1/2 cup softened cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
• Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Pro tip: I always use full-fat cream cheese rather than light versions – it creates a much richer flavor and better texture for these easy no-bake moose farts.

Step-by-Step Instructions That Work Every Time

I recommend having all ingredients at room temperature before starting – this ensures everything blends smoothly without any lumps.

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, unsweetened cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Mix until well combined with no lumps remaining. This dry mixture forms the base of your treats.

Step 2: Add creamy peanut butter, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Using a spatula or electric mixer, blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Don’t overmix – just until combined.

Step 3: Gently fold in mini chocolate chips for added texture and flavor. The chips should be evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 4: Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and shape into small balls or logs about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each piece.

Step 5: Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and treats to firm up properly. Don’t skip this step – the chilling time is essential for the right texture.

Step 6: Serve chilled, topped with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Perfect Pairings for Your No-Bake Treats

These rich chocolate-peanut butter treats pair beautifully with lighter flavors that complement their decadent taste.

Fresh Berries: The tartness of strawberries or raspberries cuts through the richness perfectly, creating a balanced dessert experience.

Cold Milk: Classic pairing that enhances the chocolate flavors while providing a refreshing contrast to the dense texture.

Vanilla Ice Cream: Serve alongside scoops of vanilla for an indulgent sundae-style presentation that kids and adults love equally.

Coffee or Hot Chocolate: The warm beverages make these easy no-bake moose farts even more satisfying as an after-dinner treat.

Smart Storage Solutions

Store your finished treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days – though they rarely last that long in my house! The flavors actually improve after the first day as everything melds together.

For serving, I recommend removing them from the fridge about 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly. They’re delicious straight from the refrigerator but have a nicer texture when just barely softened.

Pro tip: These freeze beautifully for up to 3 months. Freeze them in a single layer first, then transfer to a freezer bag. Thaw in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
