I’m Grace, the cook and writer behind Homely Tasty. I still remember the first time I made No-Bake Moose Farts with my nonna’s old mixing bowl. I was visiting a friend in Nova Scotia, and she laughed when she mentioned the name. “It’s a funny name for something so good,” she said, and she was right. These no-bake fudge bites are a cross between a coconut macaroon and a chocolate truffle, yet take only minutes to prepare. They’ve become one of my go-to recipes whenever I need something sweet without turning on the oven.
If you love effortless desserts like my No-Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Balls, you’ll adore these Moose Droppings, packed with chewy oats, cocoa, and coconut. They’re proof that delicious things can be simple, and maybe even a little mischievous.
