Description
Don’t let the name fool you! Moose Farts Dessert offers unbelievably easy, no-bake bliss. Rich peanut butter, chocolate, and oats combine for fudgy, chewy 15-minute treats.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (for the mixture)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla powder
- 2 1/2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter. Add the creamy peanut butter, 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and alcohol-free vanilla extract to the melted butter. Stir vigorously with a spoon or spatula until smooth and well combined.
- Step 2: Gradually add the quick-cooking rolled oats to the mixture, stirring until all the oats are thoroughly coated and incorporated. The mixture should be thick and cohesive.
- Step 3: Prepare a plate or shallow dish with the remaining 1/2 cup of powdered sugar for rolling.
- Step 4: Using a small scoop or your hands, roll portions of the mixture into irregular, bite-sized balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
- Step 5: Roll each shaped ball in the powdered sugar until evenly coated. Place the finished Moose Farts on a serving platter or a parchment-lined tray.
- Step 6: For best results, chill the Moose Farts in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to firm up slightly before serving. They can be served immediately if preferred.
Notes
- Store your Moose Farts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week to keep them fresh and firm.
- These no-bake treats are best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature; reheating is not recommended as it will cause them to melt and lose their delightful texture.
- Present these fun, bite-sized Moose Farts on a decorative platter, perhaps with a side of fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate syrup, perfect for parties or a unique after-dinner treat.
- If the mixture seems too soft or sticky to roll easily, chill it in the refrigerator for an extra 5-10 minutes before shaping to achieve cleaner, firmer balls.
