Ingredients
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
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Optional Topping
- Whipped cream (optional)
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
- Prepare the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly distributed, creating a dry base mixture.
- Add the Creamy Ingredients: Incorporate the peanut butter, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract into the dry mixture. Blend them together until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and fully combined.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly spread throughout the mixture without breaking them.
- Shape the Treats: Scoop out portions of the mixture and shape them into small balls or logs using your hands. Place each shaped treat on a lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Chill: Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This chilling step helps the treats set and firm up properly.
- Serve: Enjoy the moose farts chilled. For an extra touch, top with whipped cream if desired before serving.
