Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- ½ cup cocoa powder
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Coating
- Powdered sugar or additional cocoa powder for coating
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats and cocoa powder thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the dry components.
- Melt Butter: In a saucepan over low heat, gently melt the unsalted butter. Once fully melted, stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and well combined.
- Combine: Pour the warm wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture evenly until all the oats are coated and the mixture becomes sticky and workable.
- Form Treats: Using a scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Optionally, roll each ball in powdered sugar or cocoa powder for an extra touch of flavor and a decorative finish.
- Chill: Place the formed balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate them for at least 1 hour to allow them to set and firm up properly.
- Serve: Remove from the refrigerator and enjoy your No-Bake Moose Farts at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- These treats do not require baking, making them quick and easy to prepare.
- For a nutty twist, you can add chopped nuts into the dry mix.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- If the mixture is too sticky to handle, chill it slightly before rolling into balls.
- You can substitute sweetened condensed milk with a dairy-free alternative to make it lactose-free.
