Description

Moose Bites are no-bake, bite-sized treats combining sweetened condensed milk, graham cracker crumbs, coconut, and chocolate chips. These easy-to-make dessert balls are rolled in extra graham cracker crumbs for a delightful crunch, perfect for parties, snacks, or quick sweet cravings.


Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk (300ml/14oz)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups dried coconut
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (plus extra for rolling)
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully blended.
  2. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the graham cracker crumbs, dried coconut, and chocolate chips until the mixture is well mixed and uniform.
  3. Chill Mixture: Refrigerate the mixture for about one hour to allow it to firm up, making it easier to handle.
  4. Form Balls: Scoop portions of the chilled mixture with a spoon and roll into 1 1/4-inch balls using your hands.
  5. Coat in Graham Cracker Crumbs: Roll each ball in extra graham cracker crumbs to add a crunchy texture on the outside.
  6. Final Chill: Place the coated balls on a baking sheet and chill until firm before serving, at least 30 minutes.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh graham cracker crumbs for rolling to maintain crunchiness.
  • Store moose bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • You can substitute chocolate chips with mini chocolate chunks or chopped chocolate bars.
  • Adjust sweetness by reducing or increasing sweetened condensed milk slightly.
  • These treats are perfect for kids and holiday gatherings due to their no-bake simplicity.
